Description
Soon after completing her studies at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, Karin Sander won international renown. Following a stay in New York, she held various visiting professorships in Germany and the U.S. The versatile object and installation artist has held professorships at the Art College of Berlin-Weissensee and at ETH Zurich since 1999 and 2007 respectively. Her creations consistently strive to engage the viewer directly in a visual dialog, most particularly when her polished "wall pieces" become a mirror, architecture is reinscribed in architecture, source codes and Braille transpose the material work of art into an encrypted virtual world, or miniaturized 3D body scans of living persons populate the specific installation area at eye level.
In the main corridor of the Europaallee complex, a dozen employees come face to face with their alter egos in miniature. These "three-dimensional photographs" on pedestals brazenly confront passers-by or casually look out onto the atrium.
