Birgit Jürgenssen: I am.

The exhibition is the first major retrospective that an Italian museum institution dedicates to Birgit Jürgenssen (Vienna, 1949–2003), one of the most important and sophisticated interpreters of her era. Birgit Jürgenssen drew on the languages of surrealism in her approach to social conventions, sexuality, the canons of beauty and the relationships between the sexes with an ironic language and a subversive humour which often made use of the image of the artist herself.
