Profile

Art and architecture, communication and perception, utopias and realizations, as well as the cultural shaping and transformation of space and everyday objects are central themes that Annett Zinsmeister renegotiates in her artistic and scientific works: in space - installations, conceptual and built spaces, in photographs, drawings, collages, in film and in texts.

Investigations of perceptual processes, social interaction and communication, as well as approaches based on cultural and media theory are part of her conceptually based artistic practice. She merges theoretical research with conceptual art practice but with an extra-ordinary effect: her work has a tremendous immersive impact on the viewer.

Annett Zinsmeister fathoms communication, social interaction and the meaning of transformation of urban space in her fascinating search for identity. Her spatial installations challenge our perception, unmask everyday habits and expose the antagonism of utopian approaches in our social and built environment. Her works open new perspectives on unrevealed potentials of disputatious and abondened spaces and initiate processes of urban interventions and transformations.

Annett Zinsmeister is driven by the belief in interdisciplinary communication and interaction, aiming to bring people together and involve them into a vivid dialogue. Her oeuvre has been published in well-known magazines, art catalogues and books. It has been shown in international solo and group exhibitions and is part of international private and public collections as MoMA in New York.
