Annett Zinsmeister 安妮特·辛斯邁斯特（德國, b.1967）

“我將建築視為圖像，在細節與構圖中看到抽象之美，卻同時了解建築的技術面與歷史背景。將這些知識轉為藝術實踐，我找到歸屬感。”

－ Annett Zinsmeister 安妮特·辛斯邁斯特

Graduation from the Berlin University of Visual Arts + Design.

Space and Architecture are central topics, the artist is dealing with in her large-scale installations, photography, drawings, collages and films. She is the author of numerous interdisciplinary books and is known for the combination of diverse disciplines such as architecture, art, and media studies. Her work has been published internationally and are part of exhibitions and art collections worldwide, e.g. at the MoMA Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Annett Zinsmeister is interested in the meaning of architecture and space, in the history, tradition, and innovation, the social and political background and structure of spatial constructions. She's interested in the origins, the forms, and effects of everyday rituals, their effects, and forces of habit. Fascinated by places of transition, places with a certain past and uncertain future, in and with her work, she investigates historical and contemporary developments of the perception and design of space, especially in connection with new technologies. Her works in form of installations, sculptures, images, films, etc. are challenging our perception and understanding of space and open up new approaches to supposedly familiar themes.

Her artistic work is representing an amalgam of art, architecture, and cultural studies: In creating large scale installations, conceptual and built spaces, photography, drawings, films, collages and texts, she is merging theoretical research with conceptual art practice that has an extraordinary effect: the installations and pieces have an immersive impact on the viewer. They challenge human perception and unexceptional habits. Recurring fundamentals in her oeuvre are for example the use and creation of modular principles and the strategy of deconstruction and recomposition.
