The illusionism of baroque and concrete art, the real world and constructivism, mediumistic gospel and societal reality – Myriam Thyes uses her art to make ruptures and connections visible. She looks at both historical events as well as the modern society, in which visual and social cultures flow into each other. This crossover is expressed by the artist in photographs, collages, and video works. In the latter, she utilizes the suggestive potential of new media, animation, and contemporary 3D technologies to explore her ideas. Shapes and motives that float through space and at the viewer and overlap, dissolve, and form anew, allowing for a spectacular experience of the proximity between different ideological and cosmic worldviews.
