The exhibition You, who can fly – Šejla Kamerić presents various groups of works by the artist from the last decades with current installations developed for the presentation in Linz. The multi-layered network offers an insight into the artistic self-image and the political and social intentions and hopes of the artist, who was born in 1976 in Sarajevo in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The exhibited self-stagings for photographic recordings, the self-portraits, which have been repeatedly conceived for over 20 years, run like a common thread through the thematic focus of the work. The representations of women and the female body, as they are coded and propagated in the visual and social media, find an equivalent in the artist’s self-portraits and at the same time a provocative, self-determined de- and re-coding.

Curated by Nathalie Hoyos and Rainald Schumacher, the exhibition is set to open on March 13th, and will be on view from March 14th until July 27th, 2025 at Museum Francisco Carolinum, Linz.
