French-german painter and video artist Dorothée Recker was born 1984 in Norway and grew up in the south of France. She moved to Berlin in 2011 after completing her studies at the French national school of fine arts in Paris. 

She paints things that are close to her : memories, places, people – picking her subjects out of a personal database that she builds continuously, made of private pictures, staged photographs, extracts from her videos, blogs or social networks on the world wide web. 
As an extension of her practice of photography, her videowork offers a counterpoint to her paintings. Staging and disguising, references to music videos, pop culture and electronic medias, are as many strategies she uses to tell her stories.

Through the past years she took part to various exhibitions, for the first time in Berlin in the group show Things fall apart at ECC Berlin-Weissensee. Her work has been shown in different places in Paris, among others the projectspace 104 or the annual exhibition Salon de mai, where she was granted with the Marin Prize for emerging painters.

Shift is happy to announce her first solo show in Germany, showing some of her latest work. It is concepted as a landscape, a visual travel journal written between the Mediterranean sea and Berlin, the cross relations being also expressed by the variety of support. From still images to moving pictures, from the screen to the canvas, from the figure to the abstract, a pop-melancholic panorama she invites you to be a part of : « Asking you to view my work is whishing to connect with you ».
