Annegret Soltau VATERSUCHE

Annegret Soltau is one of the most important feminist artists of the present day. She has been exploring questions of personal and social identity since the 1970s, reflecting on her position as a woman in the construct of her own family. From January 18 to June 7, 2026, the Kunstforum der TU Darmstadt is showing the exhibition Annegret Soltau VATERSUCHE.

The 69 sheets of the work "Vatersuche" extend into the room like a seemingly endless drawer of a filing cabinet. The series sums up the story of Annegret Soltau‘s search for her father, whom she never met. Although it was never discussed in the family, the question of her father‘s identity has always preoccupied her. She therefore begins to gather information about him at an early age. Her mother only gave her a name and a single photograph of him. In 1988, Soltau contacted an official tracing agency for the first time. Since then, she has repeatedly made various attempts to find out more about her father. In view of the countless sobering replies, she decided in 2003 to transform the collected material into an artistic work that continues to this day. For this, Soltau uses various self-portraits, from which she tears out the part of her face and sews the collected documents to the separated area with needle and thread.
