Yvonne Brückner
Yvonne Brückner works at the intersection of ceramic sculpture and puppetry. The question of how movement is expressed in a sculpture and the way the appearance of the object changes if it is actually put into motion is the central aspect of her work. Brückner employs the technique of stop motion video to combine the dynamic quality of a sculpture with actual time-based motion. A relatively new subject for her artistic explorations is therefore the way the perception of a three-dimensional object differs from looking at a flat film image.
Yvonne Brückner (born 1981, Starnberg, Germany) completed an apprenticeship at the Berufsfachschule für Keramik, Landshut, Germany (School for Ceramic Crafts), in 2003. She worked with Elizabeth Ross in Morelia, Mexico, on La Tierra Viva, and for the past seven years, Brückner has regularly participated in collaborative performing arts projects in Dresden, Halle and Berlin. During her studies in 2007, she took part in an exchange program at Ohio University, Athens. In 2010 Brückner earned a diploma in Fine Arts from Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design, Halle.
