The trio „3 Hamburger Frauen“ – which simply translates to „3 women from Hamburg“ – met at the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts and have been a group for seven years, connected by artistic collaboration and friendship. As a group they have realized many site specific, ephemeral murals and installations. Continually the artists portray themselves as the protagonists in their pieces. Staging their bodies as famous figures from pop culture and art history and working in cross references to photography, film, and literature, their pieces thus aim at gender issues. Their work was already shown at Falckenberg Collection/ Harburg, in the Art Cologne/ artfair, at Liste/ Art Basel, in the Kunsthaus Baselland, and in the Fridericianum/ Kassel.
