Anys Reimann
11 Apr. – 17 May 2025
Anys Reimann’s collage-based practice makes it its business to explore and present „layers of meaning“. She lets fragments become a whole, always thinking of „hybridity as a fundamental form of construction“. Her works, be they composite and painted works on paper, wood, leather, linen or bronze sculptures, allow overlaps and overlaps of form and material to become the centre. The fragment, the one part of many, combines and becomes the whole. The medium is the message.

In her artistic practice, Anys Reimann deals with being „different“, with the representation of heterogeneous culturality and what it can mean when social codes are broken and expanded through self-determined representation. Her figures are mostly composed of images of different parts of the bodies of women of different origins. Together, this results in a group of female-coded persons who present themselves with strength, defiance, sensuality and without averting their gaze. The difference between being depicted and a self-determined self-presentation becomes immanent here.

Reimann creates a unique relationship between medium and materiality that invites a physical experience of her works. Her sculpture-collages are bodies formed from material, faces from paper, from leather, painted with oil and acrylic. It is a process of exhaling, of allowing oneself to move out of the frame ascribed from the outside, a concession given to oneself to expand, to grow. Viewing and encountering the works of Anys Reimann is a somatic, sensual and multidimensional experience.
