Ines Schaikowski
Ines Schaikowski observes everyday objects and how we deal with them. In her works she traces the narrative potential inherent in them.
She questions how the seemingly trivial intervenes in the various areas of perception and action and thus influences our thinking, our lives, and ultimately our identity. Do humans influence their everyday life, or does everyday life influence humans? Schaikowski is particularly interested in the tension between the repetitiveness, inferiority, fleetingness and interchangeability of everyday things versus our growing need for individuality.
