Robert Brambora: LUCY
Robert Brambora
Lucy
28th February — 12th April 2025
MAMOTH is delighted to present Berlin-based artist Robert Brambora (b. 1984, Germany) in his first solo exhibition with the gallery, titled Lucy, on view from 28 February. The show brings together new paintings, sculptures and installations as a Gesamtkunstwerk, creating an atmospheric living space with traces of the eponymous Lucy. Influenced by existential theatre, a spectral narrative works through this mise en scène, merging Lucy’s inner and outer worlds, as well as her professional and personal life. Interested in the seemingly schizophrenic tensions that exist between the individual and society, Brambora explores how, today, our subjectivity can be defined by internal feelings, external perceptions, and the facelessness of big data alike. In doing so, he asks how we are shaped by societal expectations, foregrounding the alienation engendered by the social masks we wear amid the urban grind.
