Edith Kollath (1977) works as a mixed media artist on questions of the visualization of uncertain states and their social and theoretical contexts.
Kollath creates a manifold universe of aesthetic transformations that stimulate reflection: a cloth falls again and again and yet differently every time; an artificially generated cloud emerges and vanishes; breathing books tell a new story of their own. Kollath is aware of the hubris implicit in making human breath the quintessence of her art: she encroaches on a prerogative of the gods. The resulting works are of compelling minimalist elegance and calm eloquence exploring different states of uncertainty, vagueness and transition.
