Judith Egger | MyArtSpace


At the core of Judith Egger´s work lies a strong interest in space and time.

She sees herself as an "artistic parasite" who adapts and absorbs any space and situation and creates an especially tailored piece for the given circumstances. Her artistic practice includes installations, objects, performances, drawings and videos as well as collaboration with other artists.

Transformation - physical as well as spiritual - is one of her main themes. This leads on the one hand side to a strong interest in science, in matter and physicality - and on the other hand in the non-physical counterpart; spirituality and the invisible powers directing our existence. In her work a certain amount of humour is essential.
