Namibian-German artist Nicola Brandt explores power, landscape, memory, and the lasting legacies of colonialism and apartheid. Her practice considers how history becomes embedded in the landscapes around us.
Reflecting on the seemingly innocent landscape images she grew up with, Brandt says:
โThere was a deep ideology imprinted in a lot of those landscapes, of trying to create an aesthetic that would perhaps make European Namibians or South Africans feel that they had some sort of claim to these landscapes.โ
