Venice Biennale 2019

Renate Bertlmann is the first major contemporary artist to occupy the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2019. With this choice, curator Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein has selected an artist whose work holds an essential position in the history of Austrian feminist performance and is also highly respected in the international feminist avant-garde.

Lauren accompanied the artist for half a year with her camera and followed the development process up to the opening. The resulting portrait was made available for visitors to the pavilion to view via QR code.
