For this episode’s talk, Alicja Schindler met Caroline Bachmann in her studio in Berlin-Friedrichshain. Meyer Riegger opened her solo exhibition Le Rhin for Berlin Art Week. For this new series of 24 paintings, Bachmann embarked on two journeys along the river. But actually 24 views of the Rhine are not that many, when you compare this figure with the number of pictures of Lake Geneva that Bachmann has painted to date. The artist first began painting the lake at sunrise or dawn twelve years ago. In this episode, Bachmann talks about her journey along the river, why it never gets boring to paint the same old lake and and why the area around the village where she is living today is much more important in terms of art history than she would ever have suspected.
