Christina Wendt is a
sculptress, or "human designer. Her artistic goal is characterized
by an intense interest in people, through life experience in a
variety of forms through the dedicated intervention in social
relations. Her human figures lack any civilizational attributes and
yet are sophisticated and charismatic personalities of contemporary
witnesses. As three-dimensional snapshots, as monumentalised
character studies, they point us in the everyday lovable arrogance
on the weaknesses and humanity in the here and now. They communicate
with each other and their environment. As a viewer wants to / in we
see the mirror that we are held up and inspire us to
self-questioning. Short biography
