Carolina Goedeke studied painting and video installation at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and at the UdK Berlin. After 20 years as an interdisciplinary artist in Berlin, she moved to Italy’s Ligurian coast in 2017.

In search of empathic-dialogical relationships with nature, her work erases the demarcations between animals, humans, cell structures, oceans, mountains and forests, inspired by the hierarchy-free relationships between different species described by Donna Haraway in “The Companion species Manifesto”.

In her paintings, photographs, videos and clarinet performances, the boundaries between viewers and works become permeable. Goedeke opens gates into a multi-layered, multi-sensory experiential space: by consciously adopting what appears to be a childlike, wondering, intuitive perspective, she facilitates a dialogue between viewers and her works.

Goedeke uses artistic practices as “human medicine” to enhance individual resilience skills and enable social action.

Carolina Goedeke weaves picturesque spontaneous elements with basic structures from nature and relates them to each other in the form of abstract scores, comparable to musical scores.
