                        About the Artist
                    Christiane Baumgartner is a distinguished German artist acclaimed for her innovative and monumental woodcut prints. Her unique artistic process involves translating video stills, often from news footage or personal archives, into large-scale woodcuts. Baumgartner's distinctive aesthetic is characterized by the inherent graphic qualities of the woodcut medium—bold lines and stark contrasts—which she uses to explore themes of memory, time, speed, and the elusive nature of the image in the digital age. By transforming fleeting digital moments into the enduring physicality of print, her work prompts viewers to contemplate the temporalities of perception and the power of both moving and still images.
