Berlin and Brussels. Her projects have involved works and research on the African Diaspora
 
and colonialism in Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Brazil. “Disquieting
 
Nature,” part of a trilogy examining landscape, music, and liberty, was first shown in 2012 in

work was later presented in 2013 in A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History at Centre Pompidou,
 
Paris. Meisner has participated in many exhibitions including Landscape and Power at MOMUK

The projects of Christine Meisner are based on extensive transdisciplinary research and intertwine drawing, video, text, photography and music into multilayered installations. For over two decades, the artist has been concerned with the history of imperialistic and ideological regimes and their reappraisal. Central subjects of investigation in her projects are the experiences of diaspora and the origin of group-focused enmity in the context of colonization, nationalism, racism, and anti-Semitism. The artist’s graphic archaeologies, archival disclosures, and narrative video and music compositions address the question of what we have become and how we confront the unresolved dimensions of violence that continues to impact us today.
