Sieglinde Wittwer by Icaro June 25, 2024 0 Portfolios

Sieglinde Wittwer is a painter, sculptor and etcher. She studied art history at the University of Zurich and graduated as a teacher of visual design at the Zurich Art Academy. In her work, Sieglinde Wittwer is not only concerned with visual research, but is also interested in resonance: what do such places trigger in people? How do places and people interact? And how can these experiences be made visible through artistic practice? With such questions in her luggage, Sieglinde Wittwer has repeatedly set out to explore special resonance spaces: the decaying Detroit, the Parisian banlieues, the coastal areas of Senegal. The result is picture cycles and sculptures that question her own state of mind as well as that of the inhabitants of those peripheral areas and outskirts.
