Earth´s Shadow, Moon´s Crust:
Working at the intersection of drawing, landscape, and mirror, Alice Dittmar’s works translate the surrounding environment of Kunstbrücke — water, light, architecture — into meticulous, contemplative image-objects. Following a formal strategy that is deeply influenced by her extended periods in Asia, particularly in China and Taiwan, where classical Shanshui painting techniques offer a perspectival multiplicity that invites the viewer into the landscape rather than placing them outside it. Dittmar's drawings carry this same spirit: they are not windows, but atmospheres — absorbing and reflecting both place and presence. Her ongoing “Moon Series” resonates with this perspective.
