Salomé Berger

*1990 in Bern, Switzerland

Based on collage, Salomé Berger combines plant and body fragments with landscapes and organic forms in her works. This creates new worlds that seem familiar on the one hand and have surreal features on the other.

The sometimes paradisiacal, sometimes dystopian-looking illusionary space shows a play of alternately loosening and condensing compositions. The screen becomes an intimate stage on which everything follows an immanent rhythm and at the same time oscillates between naturalism and synthesis.
