Vreni Spieser works with installation and performance, often in relation to architecture, often in ways that are temporary or impermanent. Her works effect a break with the centuries-old Eurocentric view of the world to adopt a postcolonial perspective. A central theme in this task is her interest in ornament, itself a product of migration, adaptation, and transformation. Vreni works to create alternative spaces that can be read as a counter-position within our culture, where critical reflection on what already exists is possible and the imaginary of an alternative possible life can be realized.
