Frauke Dannert: Doppelgänger

Frauke Dannert (b.1979 in Herdecke, Germany) lives and works at Cologne.

The genesis of Dannert’s practice lies in her interest in the architectural space and the medium of collage. Through this she dissects architecture, examining it as to its sculptural potential and produces creations that oscillate between the organic and the architectonic, illusion and reality. Within her collage practice Dannert creates the initial compositions and then replicates them using a photocopier. By reducing the photocopies to black, white and grey tones she distances the works from the original material reality and alienates spaces and the viewers experience of the space.

Her work can be found in many institutional collections including Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf; Kunstsammlung Deutsche Bundesbank, Frankfurt; and Sammlung Kunst aus NRW (Kornelimünster), Aachen.
