She studied at the HfG in Offenbach am Main and at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste – Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main (until 2013). Genoveva Filipovic (*1986 in Frankfurt am Main) lives in New York and currently in Cologne. Then I try to imagine how it would be to ‘act out’ this scene. When that proved too difficult, I did this: I claimed that I was changing the facial expression of each cactus so that, I thought, it might elicit a sigh. I made cactuses and placed them in a row.Īfter this work was completed, I changed the facial expression of each cactus so that, I thought, it might elicit a sigh. Worse yet, he saw how absurdly he was behaving, and then exaggerated it still further but what he did not see was the expression in his eyes they were so beautiful and revealed such a fervent soul that, just as a good actor does, they gave charming significance to words that had none… he never said anything worth saying except when, distracted by some unforeseen event, he wasn’t trying to turn a well-phrased compliment.”

“…If some ill luck forced him to speak, he managed to say only the most ridiculous things. Genoveva Filipovic’s exhibition will possibly be seen only from outside. Please note to the current applicable corona protection measures.Īt the time of writing this text, it cannot be assumed that visitors will be able to enter the Kölnischer Kunstverein, Die Brücke, in the near future and that the exhibition Bridge of Sigh will find any audience at all. The exhibition is prolonged until July 4, 2021.
