Chimeras and other family members

In his works, Moritz Krauth analyses and discusses the classic nuclear family as the quintessence of human society and socialization. Using photography, digital collage, film and now also drawing, he traces familial conditions and dynamics. The protagonists are sometimes real family members in fictional roles, sometimes imagined or longed-for people and, especially in his drawings, mythological creatures such as chimeras and winged horses. The resulting family portraits full of hidden allusions unfold in allegorical visual worlds.
