SUMMARY

 
 
Dikla Stern (*1972) is an artist, communication scientist, and lecturer. In 2003, she received a diploma in fine arts and design from the Avni Institute in Tel Aviv. In 2007, she obtained a Master of Arts in Communication Design, Media Theory, and Philosophy under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Thomas Friedrich (Editor of the Journal for Critical Theory) at the Mannheim University of Applied Sciences. The exploration of society in the context of the charged dichotomy between power and oppression, law and freedom, is sometimes discreetly, but sometimes also entirely directly, a constant in the works of DIKLA STERN. These works describe societal phenomena that are perceived as “disturbed.” Contemporary themes, issues and events are subjected to artistic reflection and examined in terms of the collective influence of media, politics and history on the individual. 
 
She has received exhibition support from various institutions, including the Adrienne and Otmar Hornbach Foundation, Dieter-Kissel Foundation, and Werner-Deschauer Foundation. Her works have been exhibited at venues such as the CICA Museum in South Korea, the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden, the Potemka Gallery in Leipzig, and the 5th European Month of Photography (EmoP) in Berlin. They have also been featured in film and television, including productions such as “Altes Land” (ZDF) and “Fucking Berlin” (Netflix). Works are in the possession of private collectors, museums and companies, internationally.
