Artist Statement:
ABOUT THE WORK
Elisabeth Schmirl is part of a
generation, which has grown up
with the conditions of digital
age. Using digital media is a
natural part in her life.
Similarly in her artwork she
regards Post-Modern and
Post-Feminism theories of the
past as a natural basis.
Elisabeth Schmirl refers to
this background and deepens
the contents in a personal way
of observation. Post-Modern
ambiguity and a sense for
reflection of behaviour and
roles are significant for her
work. Without being dogmatic
or overemphasising, Elisabeth
shows in her artwork her
attitude towards porträt,
public and privacy, body
awareness and psyche, past and
presence.
my personal watch-list
"I am interested in recreating
spare by-products of the media
image-machinery and changing
their setting into anticipated
scenarios of visual
communication.
My work reflects on the flow
of / lack of communication
revealed in images, and their
rules of legibility. I am
interested in social habits,
mechanism and relations
manifesting in mass
communication media.
I am interested in guessing
the individuality of human
beings, only by using the
fragmental, rudimentary
information, given about
themselves in the web. I take
visual-material and lay open
discontinuities in
communication spaces. ...
