Martina Sauter's (*1974) photographic work portrays interiors with complex planes of space and
time that simultaneously explore their construction through the media. Her work focuses on how
humans design the spaces in which they live and how internal spaces are created through
personal experience and by what is conveyed by the media. Martina Sauter combines photographs
that she herself has taken with stills from films and screenshots of newspaper images to create
visual spaces with unfamiliar perspectives within which fragmented figures or text appear. This
encourages the viewer to explore ostensible representations of reality while challenging them
to attempt to solve the spatial pictorial puzzles they depict. One group of works is dedicated
to unusual species of animals which are positioned in new habitats through the use of
collages. These works are unique visual events encompassing partial areas that glow in the dark
providing an opening into further additional worlds. The publication ONE TWO is a book and an
object in one and features works created between 2008 and 2022.
