Astrid Köppe

Astrid Köppe is a Berlin-based artist whose work centers around drawing. Her works have been shown extensively across Europe, the United States, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. Her public collections include the Kupferstichkabinett of Berlin, the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig, and the Hamburger Kunsthalle, among others.

She depicts enigmatic objects that incorporate a wide variety of visual information, such as plants, animals, minerals, and fungi, with a delicate and sophisticated touch. Viewers are tempted to interpret these objects in various ways but inevitably find themselves unable to reach a definitive answer, remaining in a state of suspension.

At ART OSAKA 2024, she will present an installation titled "PARAMNESIA," which extends her drawing approach into three dimensions.

In this installation, everyday objects that should be familiar to us begin to take on entirely new appearances through Köppe's visual language, undergoing unexpected proliferation and congregation. The title "PARAMNESIA" refers to a memory disorder where reality and unreality blend together. This perfectly symbolizes Köppe's attempt to destabilize our stable perceptions and memories.

Please enjoy Astrid Köppe's world, characterized by a pleasant dazzle and a ticklish sense of humor, presented as an immersive space incorporating sound and light.
