Claudia Kübler
In many of her multilayered works the Swiss artist Claudia Kübler (*1983), winner of the Manor Art Award Central Switzerland 2022, explores the various perception-related concepts of time such as the hypotheses of ‘Deep Time”. These temporal dimensions largely exceed the human horizon in terms of longevity and durability. Kübler’s interest in time stretches towards an attention to geological processes, the query of how mankind came into being, cycles and other non-linear, concepts of time.
Kübler also questions our impact when interacting with her artworks. Due to the chosen materials and the artist’s silent invitation vis-à-vis the public to interact with her work, Kübler’s installations and objects are often bound to change or to dissolve entirely. Thus, she confers time or the impermanence of an artwork yet another meaning by making the transience of things visible to our eye.
