Artist Sonja Heim

Sonja Heim

1997. Based in Düsseldorf

Heim works intensively on 'human-animal-object relationships'. Her expansive installations build small-scale worlds from craft or mass-industrial elements (glass beads, chicken blinders), transferring behavioural patterns and production processes of Western high cultures and class identities into the exhibition space. A recent glass-bead tapestry, derived from a drawing reworked through text-to-image AI then hand-woven, stages human-machine cooperation.
