Sandra Köstler is a visual artist working with photography, video and installation.
Having started as a documentary photographer in a rather traditional way, Sandra is now more interested in creative processes which expand the photographic language towards installation and other three-dimensional forms. Her research-based practice centers around the relations between humans, non-humans and the environments both interact with. Recently she is working on projects which explore ecological and climate issues from a non-anthropocentric perspective on nature and landscape.
In her work, Sandra draws on a wide range of influences from her background in urban art, media theory and social research. She received her PhD from Bielefeld University and is involved in various interdisciplinary activities that combine artistic practice with research and education. Currently, she runs The Space Lab, a mobile lab for artistic and collaborative explorations of spatial environments.
Sandra is represented by Galerie Monica Ruppert, Frankfurt
