Thekla Ehling
Sommerherz
June 12th-July 11th
Artist's Reception
June 12th 7pm-9pm

In Thelka Ehling's series "Sommerherz" (Summer Hearts), the viewer is whisked back to a time in one's childhood where the lazy days of Summer seem to never end. The emotions and experiences captured by Ehling's camera are however, not of a picture perfect family vacation, but of lives being lived, thoughts being examined and a world being experienced. It is perhaps the melancholy way of saying this that best captures the tone of the atmosphere prevalent in Summer Heart . Ehling's images often show moments of isolation in which a young soul appears to glance at itself, as if in a trance. There are empty glances in which a current experience is clearly compared with something previously experienced. Ehling, however, emphatically refuses to decide how far these mechanisms of the unconscious are associated with the discovery of one's own identity. The scenarios of daily life encountered here forcefully reflect the reality that everything is in a state of flux in the early phases of life. There are images of the raindrops that trickle down the window pane, obscuring the view out, snowflakes that get almost imperceptibly caught in long hair and a wading pool that beckons on a green summer meadow. Ehling continually finds new motifs, fragile embodiments that have an almost mythical way of consolidating elements of natural moments. Childhood to her, it seems, is a question of temperature.

Thekla Ehling is based In Köln, Germany, this is her first solo exhibition in the United States and corresponds with the release of her book, Sommerherz.
