Gerda Brentani

CREATION MYTHS

Gerda was obsessed with imagining Cosmogonies, inventing origins, always criticizing the mystification of the idea of the “creator”. In this session, we see how she always questioned the theme of the feminine and sin. In her constant search to break conventions and norms, radicalizing modernist criticism, she seeks to free herself, above all making fun of machismo and power, celebrating parties, reunions and anarchy. Gerda always elaborates on the idea of women's freedom, but also the freedom of the country and its culture.
