We are delighted to announce the upcoming exhibition “Self-portrait” by Klara Hobza at Soy Capitán in Berlin-Kreuzberg. At the center is the ongoing series “Biography” (2002, 2012, 2022), for which the artist formulates a new variation of her own biography every ten years, starting at birth and ending with her own future death.
The serial nature of this work illustrates the impermanence of one’s perspective on the past, present, and future, demonstrating how the self and its perception selectively rearrange and reinvent themselves with aging.
