About

Bio

Marie-Luise Meister is a transdisciplinary artist whose practice spans installation, sculpture, drawing, video, sound, and site-responsive interventions.

Her work investigates the relationship between materiality, space, and temporal experience, often engaging with architectural contexts and inviting sustained, contemplative modes of attention.

Working between Berlin and various international contexts, Meister has developed a distinctive approach that foregrounds process, material transformation, and the phenomenological dimensions of artistic encounter.

Artist Statement

I collect everything I think I can carry.

Investigating the vibrancy of places and trying to find ways to get as close as possible to the world of things and the spaces in between.

With painting and writing, sound and video, sculpting and composing, I try to reflect and reverse human-centered forms of creating and engage in democratic processes of making together with the material and immaterial forces.

I am interested in exploring the transition from linearity to spatiality, material transformations and translations between media, and how this connection can become self-evident.

In the installative I dive into the depths - I rummage through material to illuminate the ineffable and let it appear as a moment of experience between things.

In deconstructing the matter, I let myself fall. Words and images merge. Differences fuse. In flickering darkness.
