Luisa Hemmerling (me, I am writing this little text) is a practitioner from Berlin, Germany. She has a background in sociological communication theory, a largely theoretical study that greatly informs and influences her practice today. In her current work, she explores the idea of circumstance: a moment of a site-specific time in combination with the physical qualities of this site. She aims to foreground these concrete circumstances as an entity that touches her audience, transforming space into something you can feel.
Her practice is most exciting to her (if I may say so myself), when a conversation begins to happen between her work and the circumstance it is situated in. When the two begin to corrupt each other and become malleable in the face of the other. The work inhabits its context and the context inhabits the work. The work is both within and without, reflecting the fluidity of circumstance and a state of non-permanence.
