"As a child of the cold-war era, Kathrin Longhurst has long addressed the contrast between war-propaganda imagery and glamorous promises of the other side of the wall. She reconsidered war propaganda aesthetics with 'flying' female warriors, in place of fearsome male figures of power. Her early works aim to bend the visual paradigm of men and women at war, imposed by the patriarchal power structures of the past. Longhurst's initial approach is self-observational, rewriting the recent history to empower the idea of a gender-equal future." (Kathrin Longhurst - Artist Statement)
