Sarah Wohler is an artist based in Berlin. Seeking the matters of belonging and possible ways of self-definition her work deals with the phenomenon of the contrast between subjective and seemingly objective external perception. Evolved in an abstract language, both, color and material serve as a visual and haptic projection surface encouraging the observer to look for strategies of self-location and references to the own viewpoint. An undefined space becomes a place by perspective. While the aspect of mobility is gaining more and more attention, the modularity of the elements allows constant further development of the artwork itself, following a fluid and often fragile concept in partly absurd systems of order.
