"Surface working with space" work by the artist Sabrina Podemski

Ms. Anna Achenbach guides us through the exhibition using selected works of art. The work on display by artist Sabrina Podemski, a former student at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, is strongly concerned with the image stream. She explores how classical painting can or cannot be transferred into the digital realm. The artist's exhibited subject has a highly reflective surface that works with space. Depending on the viewing angle, different impressions arise. It is also almost impossible. to capture the work photographically. The artist deliberately sets the course here as to what happens when I encounter the work directly and what happens when I share it via an image stream, for example on social media.
