Dana Lorenz: Zunge – Acre Studios

Supported by www.silikonfabrik.de who donated material for art work production.

Dana Lorenz explores the entanglements of classism, queer body politics and biographical experiences. Out of this artistic research extensive installations, assemblages of sculptural objects, photographs and texts occur, that are written essayistic and associatively, humorously and repetitively. Lorenz’s writing embodies neither an academic nor a purely literary text production, but is rather an inherently part of the visual language. Growing up in a working-class environment in East Berlin in the formative post-reunification period of the 1990s/2000s, Lorenz critically reflects on and questions the narrative of the “reunification as a story of success”. Dana Lorenz has been running the independent artist & publishing platform Edizione Multicolore together with Fine Bieler since 2015 and is part of Glitter collective, which regularly publishes “The Gala of Literary Magazines”, with a total of seven issues to date. In 2024, Dana released the artist book Asphalt, Steine, Scherben together with Sophia Kesting, published by Vexer Verlag.
