Mirjam Thomann is an artist and lives in Berlin. She is interested in reflecting on and transcending architectural, social and institutional orders with the means of sculpture, installation, and text. In her works, she uses what is at hand at a certain site as an impetus, as material, space, and terrain, which she expands, supplements or comments on. This activation of what is there is combined with features such as reusability, combinability and movability of materials and fixtures.

Since they began working together in 2006, Kristoffer Frick and Eric Bell’s practice has evolved out of an ongoing dialogue and exchange of images, texts, and materials. A collaborative approach based on mutual influences and interests forms the foundation of their work, enabling them to give form to ideas that are not limited to a single artistic perspective. Spanning photography, video, and installation, their practice typically involves the presentation and staging of found objects, ranging from the ordinary to finely crafted cultural artefacts. Drawing from histories of cinema, advertising, and industrial photography, they create pictures that examine the codes and aesthetics of modern representation systems.
