Biography

Mauren Brodbeck is a Swiss multidisciplinary artist that uses photography, visual and auditory elements to create startling reinterpretations of common objects and experiences. Her multidimensional works invite her audience to step outside their safe and familiar realities and reconsider their relationships with the people and environments around them. Brodbeck's current works focus on the concepts of identity, authenticity and territory, exploring the gap between reality and fantasy and reinterpreting common experiences to reshape our stories and emotions. She is also the creator of Raw and Radical, a project focused on inspiring, connecting, and supporting women artists including a series of podcasts.
