Ina Wudtke
Ina Wudtke (°1968) is a conceptual artist from Berlin. Her work, based on research, calls the hegemonic socio-political discourse into question and further empowers counter-discourses on subjects such as work, gender and housing.
Her artistic practice takes a number of different forms: she is a visual artist, writer and DJ. In 1992, during her time as a DJ in Hamburg's Soul Kitchen, DJ Wudtke's alter ego was born: ‘DJ T-INA', who also bore graphic ties to the hip-hop scene of which she was part. DJ T-INA's practice has had an enormous influence on Wudtke's artistic work, resulting in unique crossovers between hip-hop and visual art. From 1992 to 2004 she publishes the queer-feminist artists' magazine NEID and organises a host of different musical events, spoken word events, lectures, exhibitions, film screenings, debates, and so on.
Her work draws on various forms of representation, ranging from installation to print media, and from music, digital animation, to video and photography. She explores the social hierarchies involved in both presentation and representation of bodies in her work.
