Johanna Siegel is a scientist by training but fascinated by art from her youth on. As an artist she is interested in the area of conflict between technology and nature, near and far e.g. by optical instruments but also by travelling. Her artwork comprises a variety of subjects because the society, the diversity of cultures, and nature matter. The artist likes to experiment with materials and techniques like in a lab. In addition, she likes interactive performances because art and diversity create new spaces of possibility that not only question mental limitations. Usually, she works a bit longer on a special subject, a concept, quite tenaciously. Sometimes, she creates her art spontaneously, often with a sense of humor or criticism.
