artist statement

​​

My artistic practice focuses on site-specific installations, sculpture, and performance. The works respond directly to the existing architectural space as well as to landscape, infrastructural, and industrial contexts. In doing so, I aim to heighten awareness of the spaces that surround us and of our physical presence within them. Through spatial references and altered bodily movements, the invisible aspects, power structures, and social norms inscribed in spaces and bodies become tangible.

​

Details from everyday surroundings are taken up, deconstructed, and reassembled. What is added to the space reinterprets it and enables differentiated experiences of space and the lived body — the space and the artwork shape one another. In more recent installations, the architectural space is an active part of the work: visitors must move in order to fully perceive it.

​

“Unstable” volumes made from numerous individual threads, rods, glass or mirrors evade clear boundaries — the forms seem to be simultaneously assembling themselves and falling apart again. Interstitial spaces and reflections make it difficult to distinguish between the artwork and the space, challenging rigid, normative architecture. Most of the works are ephemeral and exist only for the duration of the exhibition. What remains is the question of whether an awareness of their transience intensifies the experience of spaces and lived bodies.
