March 2020 - March 2020Sinta Werner’s art plays with the relationship between two- and three-dimensionality, reality and reproduction, physical presence and projection, and the interconnection of virtual and real space. In her photo-collages, installations, and sculptures, she uses the doubling of physical reality that results from illusory spaces or mirrors to produce confusion and deceive the eye. In her work, she occupies herself with the geometric rationalism of the functionally characterized architecture of modernism. This monograph is the first extensive publication on the work of Sinta Werner.
During my residency I want to focus on art theory: my reading list comprises (among others) Martina Dobbe – Fotografie als theoretisches Objekt, Elizabeth Grosz – Architecture from the Outside, Anne Friedber – The Virtual Window. I also want to develop a work series that takes as a starting point architectural photos from Vienna.
