| Stefanie Bürkle, born in 1966, studied scenography in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts and painting at the former Hochschule der Künste in Berlin. She produced stage designs in Paris at the Théatre des Amandiers, the St. Quentin, and MC 93 Bobigny, and in Berlin at the Berliner Ensemble, the HAU1, and the Sophiensaele. Bürkle uses painting, photography, postcards, and, most recently, photograph-based wallpapers to explore themes such as ‘stage,’ ‘artificial worlds,’ and ‘façade architecture.’ In doing so, she rethinks common perceptions of the city, providing new readings of surface projections and the hidden spaces behind them. |
