Mischlinge (Mongrels)

Mischlinge (2014) portrays Germans of diverse ethnic backgrounds in the shadow of the Nazi past — figuratively and literally. The work uses a propaganda aesthetic against the purpose for which it had devised. Combining environmental portraiture with genetic science, Mischlinge offers a unique position on ethnicity and national identity.

The work has been shown in solo exhibition at Historisch-Technisches Museum Peenemünde and Museum Wewelsburg. It is held by the collections of the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt, the German Federal Ministry of Finance and the House of European History in Brussels, among others.
