About the artist:

Viktoria Binschtok, born in Moscow, Russia, and raised in Germany, studied Photography and Media Art at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig. She lives in Berlin. In her photographic works, Viktoria Binschtok deals with circulating images of our globalized world.

About Villa Aurora:

Villa Aurora houses visual artists, writers, filmmakers, composers, and performance artists. In addition, the organization awards the „Feuchtwanger Fellowship“ for up to six months to writers or journalists whose freedom of expression is suppressed in their own countries. In this way, the organization pays homage to Villa Aurora’s former owners and commemorates the history of European exiles in the 1930s and the 1940s.
