Ulli Lust. The Woman as a Human Being
Info
TOURDATA
Museumsplatz 3, 3500 Krems an der Donau
In epic comic novels, Ulli Lust reflects on her own identity and the role of women. In her latest work, she explores these themes in the context of human and natural history.
A native of Austria, Ulli Lust has become an internationally significant comic artist with her autobiographical comic novels. In "Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life" and "How I Tried to Be a Good Person," she tells engaging stories while also addressing questions of identity, gender roles, and the search for freedom away from prescribed conventions. The narrative is supported by her artistic execution. Only black on white, a decorative color, and a highly variable design depict the respective storyline. The overwhelming appears large, thoughts and reflections are transformed into images.
From the Individual to Humanity
Following the individual zest for life and quest for meaning as a woman, the larger picture emerges: Ulli Lust's work on her essayistic comic "The Woman as Human" dates back to 1997. Since then, she has been collecting material from prehistory to evolutionary biology. Her drawn excursions also take the artist to the Wachau, the Weinviertel, and the Czech Republic: The representation and development of women as humans specifically begins with the figure of the Venus of Willendorf and comparable finds. From what world do they come? What was the role of women at that time? What was the relationship between humans and (female) nature?
Award-Winning Professor
Ulli Lust was born in 1967 in Vienna, and since 1995, her main residence has been in Berlin, where she studied at the Berlin Weissensee School of Art. She teaches drawing and comics as a professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Hanover. She has received several awards for her comic novels, including the Ignatz Award in 2013 and the Outstanding Artist Award in 2014.
