Pola Sieverding

[1] Sieverding graduated in 2007 with an MFA from the Berlin University of the Arts where she studied under Stan Douglas,[2] Ellen Cantor, Dieter Appelt, Sabeth Buchmann, and Katja Diefenbach.

[3] The artist's work questions traditional concepts of gender,[4] culture,[5] and normality; capturing both specific social spaces and the unique people who live in them.

Sieverding's work primarily analyses the relationship between her subjects- individuals who range from women in traditional Islamic dress to drag queens,[6] performance actors[7] and the Berlin club scene-[8] to their bodies.

In recent years the artist has added to her work the depiction of equally unique architecture which is portrayed as means of being a specific social space.

[9] In cooperation with Orson Sieverding, the artist develops electronic soundscapes for her installations which when projected onto her protagonists transform into urban echoes.
