Keynotes
Berlin-based artist Sabine Hornig has become internationally recognized for her sculptures, photographs and installations, through which she reinterprets architectural spaces, the social hierarchies and collective perspectives. In her large-scale photographic installations, she employs the photographic image as a transparent medium, used as diapositive, or printed onto textiles and glass, extending across walkable spatial environments up to entire glass façades in public space.
