Alter Ego Fatima Deutscheskind, based in Berlin, creates installations and sculptures, alternative realities, digital prints, and performances.

​

Fatima metabolizes narratives of pop and socio-cultural phenomena through inversion, distortion and decontextualization. Incorporating current consumer and lifestyle trends, she applies the aesthetic of the mundane, everyday life to her works, creating a twisted visual narrative, that appears familiar at first glance, yet odd at the second.   

Recurring references include brand collaborations, stock images, corporate identities, fashion, and online language and imagery. Topics range from self-optimizing body and mind, dissolving the boundaries of object and product, to basic reality construction.

​

Fakes and assertions have shaped Fatima‘s work from the very beginning: adapting tools of verification, manifesting headquarters on platforms like Google Maps, or fabricating hyperreal visual artifacts of alleged collaborations with major brands. Embedded within Fatima’s self-constructed universe: A speculative infrastructure of subsidiaries, associations, and institutions — this framework operates as both conceptual scaffold and content generator for individual works and the overarching practice. 

 

Her first solo show, Fatima Deutscheskind - Retrospektive, at loop - raum für aktuelle kunst in 2023, reflects on that ever-expanding network focusing on the association FC Forza Fatima, along foundations and charity organizations (FC Forza Fatima Care Foundation - Certified Rescue, Sponsor your Sponsor), constituting the world of Fatima Deutscheskind.
