Unbecoming – a solo exhibition of new and unseen lens-based works and installation curated by Margot Mottaz at Wehrmuehle, Berlin.
Marking a significant change of direction in Mahr’s artistic journey, Unbecoming delves into the intricacies of human existence, exploring themes of birth, death, and transfiguration. A study of the beautiful and the ‘unsightly’ as inseparable facets of the human condition, the exhibition directs a raw lens onto the interplay of life – pictures of women’s bodies bearing the scars of childbirth and life sit alongside those of unborn foetuses, and gnats alighting on still ponds.
