Life

[edit]

Gien is the daughter of the Germanist Gabriele Gien. She grew up in Munich and Augsburg.[2] She studied cultural studies and art history in Berlin and Florence.[3] After working for various art institutions, artistic projects and as a freelance author for art magazines, she devoted herself increasingly to literary and essayistic writing. From 2018, she wrote a column for the magazine Monopol under the title Das wird schon.[4] She writes articles and essays for Die Zeit and Zeit Online[5] as well as art magazines and catalogs.[6][7] Her texts often deal with power and desire, economies of the female body,[8] the fragility of perception, submission and love[9] and work with influences from the visual arts,[10] the nouvelle vague, symbolism and horror.[11][12]

In 2019, her debut novel M, co-written with Marlene Stark, was published by Matthes & Seitz Berlin.[13][14][15] A theater adaptation was planned for 2020 at the Berliner Schaubühne, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]
