Gabriele Stötzer works with a variety of media and is today considered one of the most important German feminist artists of her generation. Despite the restrictions imposed on her by the repressive political system of the GDR, she developed an artistic practice that challenged common gender roles and cultural norms through performance, photography, textiles, ceramics, painting, texts and film. In her work, the female body implies the inherent potential to challenge the status quo, to provoke the unauthorised and to present a subversive counter-image to the state-imposed version or to a traditional social image of being a woman and thus to question it - then as now.
