The exhibition Traces of the Body presents the first solo exhibition in Germany of US-American artist Kylie Manning. Her paintings shift between figuration and abstraction. Bodies emerge as traces, dissolving into layered fields of color and light.

At Villa Schöningen, these works enter into dialogue with historical positions such as Jan Brueghel II, Marina Abramović or Anselm Kiefer. Together, they open new perspectives on visibility, memory, and the representation of the human body.
