Jenny Brockmann develops a dialogue between personal experience, social/political themes, and the space where they intersect. Brockmann immerses herself in an architectural space, either pre-existing or created, and works with materials and forms that adapt to and modify the space. Her interventions aim to create a dialogue, tension and ambiguity between the sensual and industrial qualities of the space. She researches natural forms and processes and the function of human and social behaviors in a variety of different media. Through performances, Brockmann explores her personal psychological and physiological borders in order to transfer them into a space and create radical compositions for her investigations.
