on wearing white

Oct 23, 2022 - Franziska Ostermann

For almost ten years, I’ve dressed exclusively in white. The range of meanings of the color white varies from cultural context to cultural context, opening up a wide field of connotations ranging from peace, innocence, new beginnings to mourning or death. Depending on the color theory, white represents either the absence or the presence of all colors. In my artistic work, white represents a central motif that runs through her like a thread.
