Unfathomable Faces uses the windows as a surface, a screen and as a means for real and mental projections, while addressing issues of function and materiality, form and metaphorical space. While interacting with the projections, the windows become their own reflections. These reflections move with the changing light- of sunlight, city lights, or the coloured filters of sacred spaces.... They disappear into the distance, passing by, coming closer again until they return, fixed back into their own frames. A gust of wind dissolves them, a vibration makes them shiver... – Kerstin Ergenzinger

Kerstin Ergenzinger studied Fine Arts at the University of Arts Berlin, at the Chelsea College of Art and Design London and Media Art at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. Her artistic practice evolves around an ongoing research dealing with the sensory human conditions in relation to our physical and conceptual surroundings. Her work is regularly presented in solo and group shows internationally. In 2013, she received the prestigious VIDA 15.0 (2013) award in Madrid for International Research in Art and Artificial Life, and was recently awarded a research grant in Cambridge/Boston. Her work Rotes Rauschen was also selected for the Award of the Saxon State Ministry For Higher Education.
