CLARA (Clara Immerwahr) from Killing Me Softly

Claudia Reinhardt u. a. through her photographic work Killing Me Softly - Todesarten , a series of ten photographs that deal with ten artists and scientists who killed themselves: Diane Arbus , Ingeborg Bachmann , Karin Boye , Adelheid Duvanel , Clara Immerwahr , Sarah Kane , Pierre Molinier , Sylvia Plath , Anne Sexton and Unica Zürn . The reproduced photographic scenes are commented on and interpreted through texts by contemporary authors such as B. Tanja Dückers and Ingeborg Equal .

In 2005 she published a volume with photos and texts about her hometown Viernheim, with which she dealt with the double image of idyll and the National Socialist past of German small towns. In 2007 she processed the material into a 12-minute video installation . In the video installation LIEBESMÜH - Lover`s Labor from 2010, she traced women as fictional characters who became known through descriptions by male authors, such as Nora by Henrik Ibsen , Nana by Émile Zola , Effi Briest by Theodore Fontane , Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy and Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert . The installation Marion followed in 2011 , an installation about Marion Hoffmann, who acted as Marilyn Monroe's double for 35 years .

In 2016, Claudia Reinhardt continued the subject of suicide with a work that deals with couples who killed each other, such as the couple Dorine and André Gorz . With the works on her death, the artist wants to trace the life and suffering of the people portrayed in this way and bring them closer to the viewer. Usually social emergencies or political constraints were the cause of the common suicide. Several of the couples shown took their own lives because of the threat from the National Socialists or because of the loss of their spiritual home in exile , such as Stefan and Lotte Zweig . With Michael and Monika Stahl, Reinhardt brought two "victims of the Hartz IV laws" into focus, who committed suicide in 2005 because they could not bear their social decline.
