Jenny Michel

Jenny Michel studied Visual Communication and Fine Arts at Kunsthochschule Kassel. She earned her degree under Prof. Bjørn Melhus and Prof. Ursula Panhans-Bühler in 2005. Since 2006 she lives and works in Berlin. In that period several collaborations with Michael Hoepfel took place.

Michel combines medially virtuously objects, drawings, photographs, texts and videos to a complex body of work, which always has a rich background of philosophical-scientific viewpoints, self-developed theories and fictive ideas. The single pieces grow together into a modular, labyrinth-like structure over a long time-period, often several years, and reflect the analytical, network-like approaches of the artist with their serial connections. Pending from science to fiction, Michel undermines the human thinking’s demand for absoluteness with irony and presents the ambiguity of ideals in a socially relevant manner.
