Nadja Schöllhammer

Born in 1971. Graduated from Universität der Künste Berlin, Germany (Master of Fine Arts) in 2003.

The art work of Nadja Schöllhammer ranges from abundant, multilayered installations in space to small drawings and cut-outs. Her approach to the material as well as her use of narration in her drawings and installations is based on her interest in the loss of human control. She is fascinated by the fragility and vulnerability of paper, and other ephemeral materials. By burning and cutting paper objects, and interweaving these structures with fragments of drawings, she creates three-dimensional formations, which can be physically entered and experienced by the viewer.
