The artist Andrea Ziegler » “draws” with a sewing machine. With her exhibition ‘What Is the Truth and Where Did It Go?’, the Horst Janssen Museum scholarship holder enters into a dialogue with selected works by the draughtsman and graphic artist Horst Janssen. The starting point is the question of how truth, perception and trust arise in a media- and technology-driven present and become increasingly fragile. In freehand machine embroidery, Ziegler translates motifs, structures and figures of thought from Janssen's work into a contemporary, craft-based visual language. In doing so, she addresses current social issues and invites viewers to reinterpret images, tolerate ambivalence and develop their own perspectives.
