Henrike Naumann

* 1984 in Zwickau (D)

Lives and works in Berlin (D).

HENRIKE NAUMANN (*1984, Zwickau, DE) is a German artist originally trained in theater and film set design. She often focuses on questions of German identity. Born in East Germany, she grew up with neo-Nazi youths dominating the cultural scene in certain parts of its rural areas, and subsequently decided to examine the historical background of this evolution as well as of current events, seeing the two aspects as mirrors of each other. Naumann has exhibited works, among other places, at Centre d’art contemporain – la synagogue de Delme (FR), Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach (DE), and SculptureCenter, New York (USA). She lives in Berlin.
