Often departing from everyday environments, Christiane Blattmann's sculptural practice aims to dissolve clear disciplines of creation and to question the autonomy of these domains. Sculpture appears as a spatial strategy to suspend oppositions between concepts of the inside and the outside. Her works are not so much hybrids of art and quotidian life, but rather a body of thinking figures that are designated as art objects.
