Collage und Remix
In her art, Uschi Siebauer repeatedly works with the technique of collage and remix.
She takes photographs and then copies, mirrors, rearranges and animates the images.
This intervention changes the mood and focus of the original images, creating a new perspective on events. She dissolves the scenes of the photographs and creates patterns.
Patterns and Impressions
Patterns, thought patterns and imprints are a recurring theme in her work. Recognising, describing, reworking and reinventing these patterns continues to fascinate the artist.
In her installations, Uschi Siebauer works not only with reproduction but also with repetition.
Images are animated and played as animated gifs – a format in which movements are endlessly repeated. Sound, space and stories form three-dimensional collages.
The most recent works have been made with stamps and linocuts, and here too there is a recurring moment, albeit different in each image.
Perspective & Interpretation
The further development of the fascination with pattern and embossing leads to perspective and interpretation. How do I perceive something, but how could it be? After all, what we perceive depends largely on what we want to perceive.
From this perspective, the artist takes the liberty of reinterpreting supposed reality at will.
