Hey, I´m Sarah, photographer and conceptual artist,
born 1985 in the Ruhr area; based in Dortmund, Germany.
Vitae
As a conceptual artist and photographer, I am based in Dortmund, my professional activities extend throughout the entire Ruhr region in Germany. In 2018, I successfully earned my Bachelor of Arts in Photography from the University of Applied Science and Arts.
In recent years, I have participated in renowned international exhibitions and festivals such as BYOB at Museum Folkwang, Screening at Kunstmuseum Bonn and Revierkunst in Hattingen. Here I won 1st place in the Artists’ Award with my work “take me under your skin”.
In addition to presenting my works, I also had the opportunity to independently conceptualise and curate events, including the Flurstücke Festival in Münster and projects for the Museum Association of North Rhine-Westphalia.
I also work as a freelancer in the field of art handling and installation for Christian Rankowski and the Museum Ostwall, among others. I am also involved in two music collectives and organise live events in cooperation with other VJs.
The focal point of my artistic endeavours lies in capturing the essence of the human being and their surroundings. My unique perspective and the art of spatial staging play pivotal roles in my work. Additionally, I engage in artistic exploration with new media and tools such as photogrammetry and virtual reality. These, coupled with the innovative realm of artificial intelligence design, constitute the foundation of my ongoing project´s.
