Stella Geppert (Germany)
Stella Geppert’s works are born out of the analysis of movement in communicative and bodily states that are formed and shaped by social conventions. As a sculptor and performer, she defines the medium of drawing as a sculptural imprint of the essential movements of human interaction. Sculptural and performative work is therefore work on and with relationships, which is why she explores the question of the specific and transformational states of body and space, material and touch, contact and resonance.
During the residency Malt Air she will work on the aspect of empathy and nonverbal communication between humans and other species. The body’s sensual ability to “think itself into” space, body, material and substance is an important aspect of her work, in which she portrays the human body as extremely fragile and vulnerable.
