About

Void is proud to present the work of German Paris-based artist Brigitte Zieger. Curated by Gregory McCartney, ‘Other Scenes' explores virtual and spatial 3D images which relate to history and the integration of displacements between image, sculpture and space.

The works of Brigitte Zieger activate the consciousness of the gaze through humour and quiet sensitivity. The artist employs surface effects that exploit prettiness as a means of enchantment to lead her spectators onto the most virulent and radical terrain of political meaning. War and the power of violence are pervasive without being visible or binary. She advances masked, benefiting from the ability of certain images to blind the spectator, deploying work that is critical and sometimes provocative.
