SINJE DILLENKOFER
Since early years I have been fascinated by the ambivalence of reality relationships in the artistic media, especially in photography, as well as the ambiguity of perception and its impact on the individual, the collective and nature.
The artist conceptually explores our ideas on values, gender roles, nature, individuality, community and our way of dealing with them in Western culture and society. Her images are real, not having been artificially produced and therefore can be understood as documentary. She uses the medium of photography in order to play subversively with what we perceive as present or absent, symbolic or abstract, real or credible, familiar or strange and connects the forms she presents as objects, paintings, and staged installations with the question of representation itself.
In 2012 works of Sinje Dillenkofer has been shown at Galerie Wenger for the first time.
