Playground, humans and movement

Katharina Gruber is a German garment designer, performer and multidisciplinary artist who works through a landscape of feeling and the intimacy between bodies and spaces in our society. 

Born between the Bavarian mountains and near two islands; the Isle of the Women and the Isle of Men (Frauenchiemsee and Herrenchiemsee). She has worked in fashion for renowned brands in New York, Paris for Haute Couture houses, as well as living on the Northern coastal line of Spain for her work. During a decade in that industry she has also collaborated on various film and dance performances.

Her work as an artist includes sculptures; drawings, writings, collages, etc. acting and stage work into various forms. These activities are all motivations under the subject of being and connecting; meditations on human exchange, on how we are individually impacted by variations in our environment. This artistic work is an intimate and poetic expression of her voice, however it deeply informs her work as a <Gestalterin> and her daily practice.
