Visual Artist
Artworks
In her artworks Angela Kaisers reflects on the world we live in, people’s behavior, structures of power and situations of emotional conflict. She composes new narratives based on her findings and creates paintings, large scale embroideries, photographic artworks and installations.
Blue
In the series Blue Angela pairs photographs found on royalty free image platforms with iconic scenes from classic cartoons, creating wall installations that reflect on ocean-human relationships: from refugee ocean crossings to plastic pollution and mass tourism.

As the World Turns
In As The World Turns Angela combines scenes from animated cartoons with photographs of the world we actually live in. These painted collages produce new narratives that feel so wrong but also so true. They stimulate emotions ranging from laughter to pain, from amusement to sorrow - questioning one‘s own standards and hypocrisies.

Echoes
In the series Echoes Angela looks at structures of power in past and current events. She is especially interested in how we subjectively distribute and perceive such information. How collective memory is created and develops over time and how easily it can be manipulated. By applying slight changes to the positioning of the observed people on photographs she found on the internet, Angela modifies their interpersonal distance and hereby manipulate the messages these photos were supposed to transmit.

bald
The installation bald is based on six popular fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm and discusses the transfer of stories, knowledge and morals. Additionally it takes a critical stand against the way women are portrayed in these narratives. When analyzing the content of the six fairy tales (The Frog Prince, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood) it becomes apparent that the basis for all of them is a state of “waiting”. For something, for someone, for an event. In bald Angela breaks down the stories' contents, reduces them to this notion of waiting and thereby highlights and criticizes the moralistic and gender stereotypical elements they purport.

Constellation
In Constellation (Dreams, 2007.) Angela takes her observations and own experiences of interpersonal relationships to the unconscious level: transcribing and interpreting her dreams. Over the period of a whole year (2007) she recorded 395 dreams. Now, years later – with the necessary emotional distance – she takes a rational look at those recordings and analyzes them. In order to do so she created an extensive chart which displays each single recurrence of the 38 most prominent and intriguing main characters and symbols in all of the 395 dreams. The installation Constellation (Dreams, 2007) is composed of this chart, interpretations, and fragments from exemplary dreams.

Christel
Basis for Angela’s art project Christel is an extended research (especially historical, social and psychological) that allows her to create and re-enact the life and behavior of the fictitious character Christel Rosenberg. Using a broad variety of media, including photographs, video, sound, writing, performance, and found objects, she not only visualizes Christel’s life story but invites the viewer to take part and experience it as well.

About
Angela Kaisers is a conceptual artist with a background in photography. Her artworks reflect on the world we live in and questions what we have comfortably taken for granted. She observes and discusses people’s behavior towards each other, in situations of emotional conflict and within structures of power. She explores which parameters appear to stay static, which habits we repeat – or try to free us from – and which variables might occur. The creative process or method of production of her works is based on researching and accumulating information and ideas, experiments and experiences and an ever-growing archive of found footage image material, all letting her build a scheme, a new storyline.Angela Kaisers studied photography in San Francisco and Amsterdam (B.F.A, Gerrit Rietveld Academie) and Art in Context in Berlin (M.A., University of the Arts Berlin).
Angela lives and works between Vienna and Munich.
