A leisurely nostalgia pervades the work of German
painter Jutta Haeckel. Fenced-in parks and yards, a
house tucked into a forest, skeletons of roller coaster
s peeking over lush trees, colors a little too bright and
shiny. Wistfulness makes room for a stranger mood,
not quite ominous, not quite reassuring.

Haeckel is interested in the psychological space that is
formed by the contradictions of shrinking borders due
to globalization. Drawing upon her own travels, she
references thousands of her own photographs to
“filter” the lines that are blurred between nature/
artifice and original/copy. Both gorgeous and unsettl-
ing, Haeckel’s locales force the questions of time and
place while benignly suspending recognition.
