Rachel Maclean: Mama Mimi Duck

Monographic catalog by the artist Rachel Maclean

Distressingly cutesy worlds, surreal narratives and tipping points - in the works of artist Rachel Maclean, we sometimes encounter adorable babies alongside faceless mothers or deepfake Hollywood stars in an action-packed battle for reality. With her immersive installations, the artist takes us into alternative universes where sweetness turns into horror and where perspective becomes questionable. This catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibitions if it looks like a duck... at Kunstpalais Erlangen (2023) and Mama Mimi Duck at Kunsthalle Giessen (2024) and brings them back to life with spectacular imagery. For the first time, a monograph brings together Rachel Maclean's most recent works since the early 2020s, providing insights into a cunning play with perception and reality. See more
