Daniel Brahm

Daniela Brahm was born in 1966 in Diisseldorf in Germany; she studied art as a master scholar with Valie Export at the Berlin University of the Arts and was a co-founder of several interdisciplinary groups. In her work, she examines whether and how the art of painting can still adequately represent today’s social realities. Photography as a medium of documentation brings important impulses to her work, as well. Freedom, participation, privacy, community and individuality are major themes in Brahm’s pictures and installa­tions. As an ongoing project “Ideal Privacy” constitutes a collection of painted “portraits” of architecture considered as an expression of individuality within the rather clearly de­fined formal language of modernism. Daniela Brahm is based in Berlin.
