Nele Karlotta Berger is a German multimedia artist based in Germany and Iceland.
In her artistic practice, she prioritizes audience participation, inviting viewers to become integral parts of the work. Over recent years, she has delved deeply into the fascinating bond between women and horses. While historical interpretations have often reduced this connection to simplistic notions, such as Freud's idea of women loving horses because riding brings them sexual pleasure or the idea of training care for future partners, her journey has led to uncovering stories of remarkable empowerment. She focuses on narratives of women asserting authority by making men role-play as horses, a captivating defiance against patriarchal norms. These tales, once dismissed as witchcraft or madness, now stand as symbols of strength and resilience.
