Mission

The relation, interaction and relevance between the private and the public, that is what I am particularly interested in and how the public, political and social narrative of societies leave their traces in the private.

The questioning of the image as a depiction, as a visual narrative and as a supposed construction of reality is a central aspect of my artistic practice. The image, in my case this often means the photographic image, has long since left the representation of reality behind and consciously intervenes in the construction of the world (perception) in different areas and changes it. The world of images in which we live take possession of our thoughts, feelings and expectations and determine how we see the world. – There are hardly any places where we have not already been through pictures before we physically enter them for the first time. This creates a certain uniqueness and one-dimensionality of perception. In and with my work, I try to give back aspects of blurring to these actual shortenings of perception, to question familiar concepts of thinking and perceiving and to add other, new ones to traditional narratives.

Her work approach spans from classical photography to instagram-based
projects, large-scale projects in public space to wall installations using plastic beads, for example.
Before her artistic career, Sibylle was a Molecular Biologist:
this idea of dealing with the minute and the colossal, constellations of objects that come together at multi-scalar planes, is something that she very much took with her into her artistic career. Her work reflects on political, ecological and social issues that we all face by often focusing on the small things, the private and intimate perspectives that contain the
whole world. These connections and distances between the private
and the public run through all of her works.
Traveling and diving into other societies and cultures is an inherent part of her work approach, yet remaining respectful and mindful of the local context she is working with.
