Genzken was one of the first artists to explore computer-generated techniques at an early stage. In her “parallelograms,” she develops forms that combine mathematical precision with a conceptual understanding of art. The presentation of Genzken’s works creates a dialogue between this early phase of her career and her current practice.

For example, one sculpture depicts the legendary ancient Egyptian ruler Nefertiti, to whom the artist adds a modern and humorous twist that fuses myth and consumer aesthetics. The artist’s works also reflect her ongoing interest in urban structures and their dissolution. The reflective wall works evoke monumental glass facades and capture the dynamism and fragility of modern urban architecture. At the same time, they raise questions about the place and responsibility of contemporary humanity.

In their complexity, the exhibited works invite viewers to reflect on current notions of architecture, materiality, and cultural imagery.
