plant
Amy Adler is best known for the photographs she made of her own drawings. In the spirit of appropriation art , she has developed a kind of artistic translation process in her works since the 1990s: from photography to drawing back to photography. The product, a photograph of the drawing of the photograph, is ultimately the original. All previous intermediate products used as sketches will be destroyed. This is to be understood as a production process that questions and expands the concepts of authenticity and original.
Since 2006 she has abandoned this process-based way of working and shows the original drawings. For her pastel works, the artist used her own film stills for the first time in 2010 as the starting material for original drawings.
In her work, the artist has always dealt intensively with the medium of film. In 2009, while studying Cinematic Arts, she made the six-minute film Ready for Love , which reflects the life of the porn actress Skye Blue . In 2012 the 26-minute fairytale documentary Mein Schloss was made .

Amy Adler has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles , the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego , the Aspen Art Museum and the Norwegian Drammen Museum, as well as gallery exhibitions worldwide. Her project "Amy Adler Photographs Leonardo DiCaprio" was shown in 2002 at the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. In the spring of 2005, Twin Palms Press published the monograph Amy Adler, Young Photographer .
