Hannah Toticki: The Big Drain, 2022. Mixed media on paper, 60 x 45 cm.
Hannah Toticki primarily works with installation and sculpture and with an interest in staging and design. Her works have a starting point in well-known everyday objects. She reshapes and rethinks their expression and function in an artistic context. Hannah Toticki seeks an aesthetic language for contemporary human relations and conditions, in terms of climate problems, individual and collective exhaustion, and technological development. The work The Big Drain is a collage with untraditional materials. The title can refer to the tiring, exhausting, or draining realities of today. The collage ori-gins from a large series of works that have been exhibited under the title Mental Landscapes.
Hannah Toticki (1984 DK) graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Art in 2016. The same year, she received StartPoint Prize at Praque National Gallery – an award given to a new and prom-ising European artist. Hannah Toticki has exhibited her works nationally and internationally at KW Institute, DE; Galerie Wedding, DE; MOCAD, US; O-Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art, DK; Holstebro Art Museum, DK; Kunsten Museum of Modern Art, DK; Rønnebæksholm, DK; Arken Museum of Modern Art, DK; Galleri Specta, DK, and Malmø Art Museum, DK, among others.
