THERESA
WEBER

*1996 in Düsseldorf Germany
lives and works in London and Düsseldorf

Theresa Weber grew up in Düsseldorf, Germany and graduated at the Düsseldorf Kunstakademie in 2021, after studying in the classes of Ellen Gallagher and Katharina Grosse.

She is now based in London and studying her postgraduate Master in sculpture at the Royal College of Art. Her first institutional solo-shows and several group shows took place in Germany, Slovakia and Italy in 2021, in addition to several collective projects and group shows in Belgium, Germany and the UK in 2022.

Through developing conceptual multi media installations, Theresa Weber´s work suggests a wider understanding of being as becoming, and critically examines cultural hierarchies. She suggests that her and every hybrid identity can be understood as a network – fluid, complex and unfixed. Therefore she works with the the constant reinvention, which is comparable to the concept of chaos-theory, where arrangements can never be predicted, but can only be traced back in retrospect. Her practice exemplifies the constant transformation in every tradition and is located on the dynamic field between transparency and opacity. It consists of temporal layers, mythological and historical story-telling, contemporary body-marks and archival techniques. Weber`s practice creates traces that seem intuitive, fragile and ambivalent and seek for the infinite.
