Sophia Mainka‘s work addresses philosophical discourses and relevant social currents as well as future trends. In doing so, she works with a variety of materials and media, which she combines in room-filling installations that can be walked on. Materiality, surface and design are thereby both an analysis of a middle-class aes- thetic and an expression of a sculptural exploration of sculpture. The starting point of Sophia Mainka‘s artistic practice is her great interest in living space and the (partly permeable) border between interior and public space; security, home, and living as a milieu study and moment of identification are themes of her artistic research. In doing so, her examination begins with her own positioning and therefore a view from the Western European, suburban middle class, which is directed towards more general questions and the larger social contexts of our time. In her works, the artist explores the complex relationship between people, things and other forms of life.We are looking forward to meeting you at our booth: Present Future 3
