plant
Lilli Engel's work is shaped by the war impressions of her childhood, destruction and reconstruction, destruction and reconstruction. Her large-format pictures show her experienced history, history that is still present today. Her space and situation-related exhibitions, for example “Pintar me un Arbol”, Carillo Gil, Mexico, DF, “Red Waters for a Battle”, National Museum, Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the Taksim Sanat Galerisi in Istanbul or in the Panorama Museum in Volgograd are Signs of her artistic engagement with the “becoming and passing away” of human life.
