Veronika Veit
In her sculptures, installations and films, Veronika Veit combines different aspects to create a new reality. She questions the reliability of both social and physical systems, both in the digital and the material world.
Control or loss of control and temporal systems are two central themes in Veit's work, who since the beginning of her artistic career has been concerned with our mistaken belief that we have things under control . She questions whether we are still able to see through what we are doing and how complex processes are connected.
In this way, she creates new systems in which contradictions meet and combine to form something new that can be understood associatively rather than logically.
Veronika Veit studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1989-95 and has since had numerous exhibitions in Germany and abroad, e.g. in 2016 at the Haus der Kunst München/Sammlung Goetz and at the Electropical Festival in Reunion/France. In 2004 she was awarded the Kunstfonds working grant, 2007 the Bavarian State Prize for Fine Arts and 2016 the City of Munich Promotion Prize.
