SOFIA GREFF VISUAL PERFORMANCE ARTIST
At the beginning there is the curiosity and fascination about how the appearance of things changes depending on its relations.
My works mirror the astonishments, contradictions and irritations caused by this phenomenon.

National Merit Foundation.
Art work based in Drawing and Performance Art.
I see my life running on and in a multitude of platforms and frames which cross and inform each other. Privacy, intimacies, fears, hopes,
trivialities and embarrassments are all woven into my work. Life's circumstances force me to work with a minimum of materials, mainly
ordinary and simple things related to the respective site or idea. My art stems from a curiosity and fascination about how things function
together in a variety of different possible connections, how they appear, how the unfolding broadness of possible interpretations cause
contradictions, irritations and astonishments.
The continuous transformation and alteration of perception touches my emotional state, and it changes my beliefs steadily and constantly.
There seems to be no absolute. Instead there exists a perpetual inconstancy.
