of freedom. The Informel, which „as a conscious
opposition to the art dictatorship of the Nazi era.... understood
was regarded in the 1950s as an expression
of the new political order. Rupprecht Geiger resümated:
„The world is crying out for renewal or downfall.“*
And this „newness“ is still evident in the artworks in

The artist Ulrika Eller Rüter picks up where she left off. She too
she also deals with the theme of the urgently needed
„renewal“. As an artist of our time, she is,

Since 2019, the artist has been devoting herself to the subject of water
in the multimedia project „SEA LEVEL“ in image, light staging
and music. She creates water samples from
oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, springs, archives
and microscopes them. In this way, she makes the
hidden images that are stored in every drop of water as
memory.
