Valérie Favre (*1959), an internationally renowned painter, dedicates herself to these questions with an unusual exhibition at the Berliner Galerie Pankow. It opens up a continuously developing conversation with her own works and with invited artists, poets, philosophers, and sociologists. In all of this, the mysterious figure “La Poulinière” plays an important role.
