Lon­ging & Belonging

Ina Otzko is a Nor­we­gian artist who tra­vels the world to explore the dif­fe­ren­ces bet­ween cul­tures, and to observe the mani­fold prac­tices and beliefs of human nature. In her art, she expres­ses both an intui­tive and ratio­nal curio­sity, in which her search for rea­so­ned belief chal­len­ges her inte­grity to feel. The resul­ting ten­si­ons that emerge are exem­pli­fied by her ongo­ing series of pho­to­graphs, INTERIORS.
In her solo exhi­bi­tion at the recently opened Ingo Seu­fert Gal­lery, Munich, Otzko has se-lected three groups of images from these series, taken in India and Italy. Her focus is to expose facets resul­ting from the con­flic­tual urges of Belon­ging and Lon­ging that are wit­hin each of us. This struggle is an ine­vi­ta­ble jolt of life, since the human soul seems to require a com­fort of Belon­ging, which runs con­trary to its Lon­ging to sur­pass its­elf, to go beyond its exis­ting expe­ri­en­ces.“ (Text: Geor­gina Tur­ner, 1/10/2014)
