At once both delicate and ephemeral, the Supergabe 2024/2025 by Rebecca Ackroyd depicts a transitory moment from a Super 8 film the artist produced in 2023, leading up to her solo exhibition Period Drama at Kestner Gesellschaft in Hannover. Ackroyd momentarily captures herself in the mirror alongside a rose flower from her family garden in England, presenting an ethereal snapshot with a dreamlike quality.

Rebecca Ackroyd

Rebecca Ackroyd (b. 1987 in Cheltenham, UK) lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Ackroyd's works delve into subtle examinations of human bodies, memory of the subconscious, and dimensions of sexuality in space. She synthesizes elements of abstraction and figuration into a coherent but enigmatic language, often materialized in complex installations and body-like sculptures.
