NO PROTECTION AGAINST DROWNING I Sculpture

Charlotte Rahn uses well-known symbols and motifs from current consumer and pop culture as the starting point for her work, which she takes up and translates into her own artistic visual language. In her current work, Rahn used printed, inflatable bathing fun items made of plastic film, which she partially cut apart and reassembled, in order to then process them further in painting as plastic image carriers. In an almost ironic and tragic way, the air-filled objects are reminiscent of organic and amorphous shapes that suggest human features and physical attitudes. The original images on the objects as well as their shapes represent a sometimes kitschy world of motifs that suggest an idealized world to the consumer and thus play with individual feelings of longing and wishes. Rahn enters into a connection with the original, only to leave the familiar forms in another place and thus synthesize himself painterly with the background. The overloaded and flashy-poppy visual worlds on the objects, which represent a mixture of certain symbols and abstract structures, refer the viewer to the overwhelming demands of today's floods of images, which apparently can only assert themselves as an inflated surface.
