b. 1982, Eitorf, DE, lives and works in Berlin, DE
Nschotschi’s work touches upon an intrinsic limit of reality. The distortions she allows us to see are those of our world. Despite the abundance of her visual worlds, cracks and holes can be seen everywhere. You get the impression that the wind blows through them. Around the figures and depicted elements, but also through them. There is something fluttery (…) they recall fairy-tale creatures, exhibit their superior knowledge, which makes them uncanny figures that belong entirely to the immanence of our world. But they do not belong to it without resistance. Their grins, their grotesque laughing prove them to be derisive dwellers in reality, who refuse to shove off, to any elsewhere. They are witchy beings who get by without fairy tales. Also—and this is crucial—without the fairy tale of reality! They draw their strength from their refusal to not be here. This lends them their persistent monstrosity at the margins of identity. ⸺ Marcus Steinweg, You have to be able to live with ghosts
