soft sculptures - installation - photography - body - performance

Petra Laaper's artistic practice combines the creation of textile sculptures and installations with a simplified version of performance art, captured in photography and stop-motion film.
With her sculptures she zooms in on a sensory experience. Her images sometimes manifest themselves as bodies in space; then again she tries out an object, it becomes an attribute for an action, recorded in photography. She shows simple shapes that are recognizable, but have no clear function and raise a question about their intention. Her work is an ongoing visual investigation into the body in space and what posture to adopt.
