About Olga Hohmann
(*1992) Olga was supposed to be born in her home in Berlin-Kreuzberg, where she still lives. Instead, she was born six weeks early, when her parents were doing a trip to Neuruppin in Brandenburg, for the first time - “last vacation without child, first one to former GDR”. Her mother’s water broke while she was collecting mushrooms in the forest near the lake.
Olga studied theatre directing at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin and fine arts at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. ‘Her poetic, often musically accompanied lecture performances have aspects of ritual and salon culture,’ writes Korbinian Verlag. Her most recent book was “The devil lives in your right eye”.
Fun fact
FAZ journalist Niklas Maak recently wrote that she belongs to “a new generation of female artists who find forms of expression for the present beyond the boundaries of genre” … “Olga Hohman is at the same time the most invisible and most widely discussed phenomenon in Berlin”.
