Talisa Lallai • Still Life • 15.11.–20.12.2024

We are excited to announce our first joint exhibition with Talisa Lallai. The exhibition, titled “Still Life,” will open on November 15, from 6 to 9 pm.

Lallai’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in her personal background and revolves around themes of identity and cultural exploration. She explores her familial connection to a specific cultural landscape, addressing themes like home, belonging, and the stereotyping of the South. By using her own photographs as well as found materials, she contrasts historical depictions with contemporary perspectives.

Talisa Lallai, born 1989 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, holds a degree from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and has received numerous grants and awards throughout her career. In 2021, she received a travel grant and publication funding from Kunststiftung NRW. She recieved the grant for Zeitgenössische deutsche Fotografie from the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung, Essen in 2020 and was shortlisted for the f/12.2 Förderstipendium by the DZ BANK Kunstsammlung in 2019. In 2018, she was awarded the Werner Deutsch Preis für Junge Kunst by the Museum Kurhaus in Kleve in 2018.

Lallai’s work is featured in the collections of Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf; DZ Bank, Frankfurt am Main and DEKA Bank, Frankfurt am Main.

Currently, Lallai’s solo exhibition “Ciao” is on view at the Oldenburger Kunstverein until November 17.
