"Hide & Seek (Crawling)" by Maria Miesenberger from the Tom Böttiger Collection
Maria Miesenberger
"Hide & Seek (Crawling)"
"For me, art is a language. A way to communicate without words."
Miesenberger's visual world exists on many different levels. It spans contradictions such as the present and the past, darkness and light, the individual and the collective, joy and sorrow. The artist is not interested in telling her own story; instead, she throws the question back to the viewer: What is your story? What is your narrative, your experience? Her art is imbued with a strong vein of curiosity and a hefty dose of humility. Starting from the self and the individual, she can pose highly relevant and ever-present questions about what being human means.
In January 2005, Maria Miesenberger presented the sculpture series "Hide & Seek" for the first time. It has since been exhibited at numerous museums and institutions nationwide and is greatly beloved. The complete suite consists of three sculptures: one standing with hands covering the eyes, one creeping on all fours, and the third, sneaking and crawling.
