The quintessence of the installations and sculptures of Berlin artist Monika Goetz inheres in their contradictions, their transparency and opaqueness, and their fragility and their massiveness, formally, thematically, and in terms of content. In her work, she defines and transforms interiors and exteriors, creating new spaces. Things, human figures, and experiments encounter one another in an unusual environment, they are uprooted, displaced, or rearranged. The principle of disturbance, investigation, and the conversion and transformation of places, buildings, spaces, and interstices are at the core of Monika Goetz’s artistic work.
