Yvonne Bronner

installatie , beeldhouwen

Through art I try to come closer to the world and to myself.
My process is a dialogue with myself and the world, it is a conversation between feelings, thoughts, observations, bodies and different materials and techniques.
Every work or process is an encountering between inside and outside, between soul and surface, reality and interpretation, between thinking and feeling.
Making is important in this process but more important is experiencing, that is why I started to move my focus to performative and participating forms of art in the past year.
In the future, I would like to collaborate with other artists and the audience.

Was vielleicht aus dir geworden ist I, II & III
Was vielleicht aus dir geworden ist I, II & III - Was vielleicht aus dir geworden ist I, II & III 2020-2024 The title “What may have become of you” is a question you ask yourself about someone whom you have had no contact with and whom you have not seen for years. But someday you find yourself wondering how they might have changed and where they are now. I found myself wondering about my late father. After trying to find a connection to him by asking questions about his past and who he was – which in the end only made me feel more disconnected – I started to imagine how he could still be part of my life. What is left of him are his ashes. In Germany we are not allowed to keep the ashes or scatter them, as they have to be buried by law. In my stories those last pieces of my father live their own life and find their way back into my life, far away from where they were put in the ground. Giving him a second life which is (secretly) entangled with mine. The stories explore a kind of afterlife which is not so much spiritual but first and foremost one of matter, as everything that dies gives matter back to the earth.

aarde/erde - A project about co-creation and shared artistic research with yvonne bronner, Simone van der Meer and Villa Zebra. In the project `aarde/erde´ we wanted to know what would happen if we shared the artistic research process with children and other visitors of the museum. Not giving the visitors work to look at, but rather creating those works of art together and get inspired by each other. Sometimes these works of art were only temporary but we also made works of art that stayed there for the next visitor to be inspired by. A heap of soil was the starting point of this artistic research. Only this, a completely white space around it and a overhead projector. We would start together as a group with a collective encounter of the soil, in a way that was focused on the senses. Feeling the soil with different parts of the body (feet/hands/face), smelling, listening etc. From this experience, we decided together how we wanted to proceed, sometimes as a group, sometimes individually. Embodiment and dialogue where key elements in this co-creative process. In the end we had a complete exhibition with works of art we created together and made a small book with the works of art. 2022
to reconcile my differences - `to reconcile my differences´ was a five hour performance, open for participation from everyone, which was part of an exhibition called „what about making space“ in September 2021 in our collective studio `de kerk´. Seperating grains of rice in silence, listening to my own thoughts, feelings, trying to look inside, writing down a `good´ and a `bad´ thought/feeling, with every finished little pile. I wanted to experience what the ,simple but motorically quite difficult , action of seperating the grains, one by one, for hours would do to me. I wanted to create the time and the space to meet myself with all my different and often contradicting thoughts, feelings, judgements and expectations about myself and others. To open this performance up for participation was a very interessting ex- perience. As it revolved around the solitary practice to look inside your- self. Can you share solitude without losing it?
