(born 1960, in Zurich)

 

After studying in Berlin, Paris, and New York, Katrin Freisager returned to her native city. The enigmatic young women in her series To Be Like You recall those in her large-scale seven-part frieze Living Dolls. Both projects critique mass-media body images, uncovering the sense of isolation and alienation that occupies the flip side of flawless perfection.
