Critiquing capitalism and the relationship between consumer culture and power, Josephine Meckseper uses objects and images to express political dissent.
The daughter of an anarchist father and a Green Party mother, the German-born artist mixes glamour and politics in her boutique-style installations, protest photos, and media-manipulated video. Her narratives juxtapose our love of cars with the plight of Iraq War vets, and feminine fashion with traditional female roles, exposing the imbalance of power in contemporary society.
