Artist Bettina von Zwehl in conversation with Katy Barron

The onsite event will take place in the Headley Lecture Theatre and the online event via Zoom.

With Bettina von Zwehl, artist, and Katy Barron, Director of Photo Oxford.

During this in-conversation event, contemporary artist Bettina von Zwehl will discuss her photographic work and objects in the forthcoming Ashmolean NOW exhibition, The Flood.

The exhibition explores the artist's response to the Ashmolean founding collection based on her residency at the Museum in 2022/23.

The Flood reveals the artist's use of the museum as an artistic medium, her complex relationship with photography as a language and material and the Wunderkammer phenomenon in the context of ecological imbalance and environmental collapse.

Von Zwehl will delve into the thought processes and techniques behind her work and reflect on her unique photographic installations that move between portraiture, silhouetted fragments, still-life, monumental and miniature elements.

The conversation will be chaired by Photo Oxford's director, Katy Barron. After the discussion there will be time for questions from the audience.
