Serena Ferrario (*1986) is the 7th winner of the renowned Horst Janssen Graphic Prize, which this year will be awarded at the Kunsthalle Hamburg for the first time. The catalogue accompanying the exhibition not only documents the various facets of Ferrario's work with its large-scale installations, with a focus on her graphic works, collages, and films, but also explicitly takes a look behind the scenes with the title Where the Drawings Live. It is about an open process that not only provides insights into her studio work, but also reveals in particular the connection between the individual mediums in which her figures - whether drawn or real in film - live.

In addition to numerous pictures, including installation views from the Kunsthalle Hamburg, the catalogue also contains an interview with Serena Ferrario.

Text in English and German.
