On Friday November 15th the solo exhibition El Futuro Siempre Será Brillante by artist Azul Ehrenberg opens in Gallery van Fanny Freytag.

In the exhibition El Futuro Siempre Será Brillante, multidisciplinary artist Azul Ehrenberg uses the lottery ticket as a symbol of hope and illusion. She explores the ambiguity of the lottery, representing both financial inequality and the attempt to escape it. 

Having spent a year working in Mexico, she will show her photographic work, printed on Mexican lottery calendars. Her fascination with paper, in this case the texture and composition of the lottery sheets, is also evident in other work displayed at Fanny Freytag; a series of her handmade paper mixed with personal images. In addition to the photographic works, Ehrenberg presents the installation Portable Paradise. This is a collection of over 100 found objects, each representing a personal or emotional “paradise.”. She also made sculptural pieces for the exhibition, including her take on the classic Mexican piñata. Together, the works create a playful yet confrontational whole. They remind us of our vices and desires, of our differences and similarities, in a time when success seems to dictate the pace for finding fulfillment.
