Fair Art Fair x The Auction Collective

This is one work out of a series of five main images called Internal. The image is created completely in camera. 

Beate Sonnenberg is a lens-based installation artist interested in how space, form and colour are recognised and how it manipulates perception. She creates her own installations and spaces, occupying these with shapes and materials that create a tension between the geometric and the organic, the sleek and the hand-made, and looking at how we see and perceive space through abstraction and materiality. She is deeply interested in the physicality of light, and how it interacts with materials and relates to space. Sonnenberg experiments with perspective, illusion and the configuration of geometric forms. She aims to question how we look and perceive, and how space can be used, appropriated and revealed. 

Born and raised in Germany, Beate moved in 1992 to study photography at the Bournemouth College of Art & Design in the UK. After graduating she went traveling and settled for six years in Mexico City where she honed her photography skills. Now she divides her time between London and New York.
