Exhibition summary

Sabine Hertig presents a multi-layered exhibition that centers on the collage as a 'form of thought' for reflected viewing. The works explore the interplay between the part and the whole, inviting visitors to engage with heterogeneous spaces that oscillate between what is visible and what is overlooked.

Curatorial context

In her exhibition 'Overlook', artist Sabine Hertig explores the collage not just as a visual practice, but as a conceptual tool for spatial and intellectual reflection. By placing the collage at the center of her work, she investigates the relationship between individual components and the overall composition, treating the image as a flexible entity that bridges the gap between overview and overlooked detail. This tension between seeing and failing to notice is central to the artist's exploration of visual perception and the conventions of viewing art. Hertig's interest lies in creating 'heterogeneous possibility spaces,' which manifest as fictional stages, exhibition rooms, or meditative areas that viewers are encouraged to explore. Her approach pushes the boundaries of traditional collage by incorporating diverse media such as photography, painting, charcoal, and watercolor. By continuously redefining these categories, she transforms static images into complex environments where the viewer becomes an active participant in the staging of the work.
