Frischzelle_30: Simone Eisele

Simone Eisele (*1994, Metzingen) avails herself of the symbolism of historical phenomena, customs and rituals. Overshadowed by their advancing commercialisation, the origins of traditional celebrations such as Valentine's Day or Halloween are no longer familiar today. However, they are based on long-established codes (signs), which Eisele isolates and transfers to her objects made of textiles, wood and rigid foam. In combination with elements from pop culture, Eisele's peculiar images create a moment of superimposition in which spookiness and romance, humour and kitsch, reality and fiction converge.
