Tina Kohlmann – Mystic Muscles
Tina Kohlmann's artistic practice draws from experimental and research-oriented contexts. In her oeuvre, the artist engages with fringe sciences, mythology, anthropology, and ritual aesthetics. Kohlmann is particularly interested in phenomena of transition: states between visibility and invisibility, rationality and speculation, as well as practices in which bodies and materials function as mediators between different levels of reality.
