Sabine Bachem

My artistic preoccupation is a continual engagement with the structure of the human mind which, confronted with the peripheral environment, automatically begins to order, constructing an artificial–but for human psychology–comprehensible pattern. This process of ordering is a mechanism that bridges the passage from the alien to the familiar, from fear to the comfort zone, and from nature to culture. In my surrounding environment, I am constantly on the lookout for motives that mirror the human condition, that is, the zone that emerges when culture nudges up against nature.
