Stefanie Scheurell

Artist Statement
Deutsche Version  ›

The focus of my work is experimenting with materials as well as the question of identity and habitat, based on an international level across four continents.

I investigate materials, surfaces, structures in the site-specific context of society. I analyze their cultural properties, qualities, meanings, applications. I bring them into unconventional contexts in intermedial combinations. Thus I generate new constellations of the things within our world.
