Biografia
My theme is man, his vulnerability and me being a woman in this world. I am looking for the fringes of life; those I find interesting. It’s a fascination for the peculiarities of the human body and mind.
I research the covering of the body and the skin in different manners by means of media such as photo-works, collages and video. Covering has different meanings for me, it says something about cultural identity, but also about covering up matters.
I often use the body as raw material to induce emotions, ideas, desires and fears. A
lot of the work is related to skin or meant as skin. The work is ambivalent and somewhat autobiographical. I am not looking for perfection, but I look for the beauty in the imperfection: to attract and repulse…
From 2004 to 2018 I carried out various. The starting-point of the projects were socially engaged to the subject matter. The subject stems always from a personal interest which is investigated in an anthropological manner. The projects were site- specific and the information and the input of all people involved was the source from which an artwork is realized, revealing the subject inside out.
