Marion Brandstetter

Marion Brandstetter 2008

The new works of Marion Brandstetter, an Austrian artist (born 1971 in Vienna, Austria) who made her bachelor of arts in 1996 at the Wiener Kunstschule, refer to the natural in relation to the artificial, man made. The materials ( bark, vine, polythene sheet, nails, coil springs,..) she uses reflect this idea, sometimes you get the feeling the "dead" material is alive and you don´t always discover what is natural and what is artificial, which makes viewing the works exciting. Plastic suddenly looks like skin, coil springs like worms, the whole assemblage seems to be a strange creature.
