I work with simple materials and anything I find on the street. Where else can you find objects that have experienced so much? They have character.
My interest extends to exploring situation-specific conditions.
Standing in front of my studio, I feel like a guardian of the objects inside.
The feathers on the branches in this dark space will be carried away by the wind like leaves, if I leave without closing the door. These are selected sculptures and situations.

Nest

A bird nest built of objects. Shoelaces, cable ties, other strings, metal elements. These are just some of the materials birds find in their environment to build their nest. A bird's nest is a delicate structure that can easily be destroyed by external factors such as wind, rain or predators. The nest stands for adaptation and safety.

Phantoms watching 2021–2026 ongoing collection

Compared to the world outside, the view from my studio is small. I work with plaster, fabric, wood and anything I find on the street. In many cities, I often encounter discarded clothing and accessories, like shoelaces or pieces of jackets, often soaked by rain. I wonder what happens to these items left in public spaces. The work grew out of earlier projects and social considerations. At its center is the belief that everyone has the right to clothing that belongs to them, keeps them warm, and gives them dignity.

Heute geht’s um dich und nicht um die Welt II

Group Exhibition at Kunsthalle Mulhouse, France, Ende 2024

With Valie Winter, Lisa Wintermantel, Ruth Baettig, Paula Beck, Hannah Cooke, Valentine Cotte, Hannah Gahlert, Pascale Grau, Nicole Hassler, Paul F. Millet, Eva Rosenstiel, Andreas Schneider, Kathrin Siegrist & Iva Wili, Virginie Sistek, JJ von Panure, Miriam Wieser, Katharina Anna Wieser, Elie Bouisson.

The sculpture is made of natural materials found on site. Branches covered with thorns and berries are held together by metal clamps, creating tension between fragility and stability. The work reflects on care, exposure, and protection. The project was developed in close collaboration with the gardeners of the University of Basel’s Botanical Garden and grew through regular cooperation. In particular, the shared process of harvesting roses in autumn became an essential part of the work, highlighting the importance of repeated encounters and long-term collaboration.

Heute geht’s um dich und nicht um die Welt I

Solo exhibition at gallery Durchgang, Basel, Switzerland, 16.9.–1.10.2022

The exhibition in Basel presents sculptures, objects and film, created following a residency in my former family home. One work features a found letter from my grandparents about the seasons, another is a one shot long film at Lake Constance, where I grew up. The sculptures and objects are made from organic materials harvested over time from my mother’s garden during the residency.

Lots of Untitled

Some of my works including elements originally designed to deter pigeons. In the space, these objects interact with visitors, affecting everyone, not just the birds. They can provoke or invite participation. Examples include The Hammer Show, organized with collective Studio Huette in 2021. In the performance I Show You Where the Hammer Hangs, I wrote the names of 80 artists of the group exhibition onto the gallery windows in Wedding, Berlin. The work functions as a gesture of visibility: my artwork becomes a tool granting presence to all participants. At the same time, it contains an ironic twist: the uncertainty of “where the hammer hangs” is made tangible through the playful placement of a brush on the wall. Another performance Untitled presented at Kunsttagen Basel last year 2025, which involved a nail game. A familiar activity is transferred into the unfamiliar context of a white gallery space. Visitors are invited to actively participate, hammering, shaping the soundscape, and socially transforming the space.
