‘Spiegyin, Spiegyn’
Spieglein, Spieglein (mirror, mirror) thematises the relationship between mystification and marginalisation of women as a central theme. With her work, the artist offers a look through a mirror that does not attempt to demystify, but to turn supposed weaknesses into pride and potentiality. Both the choice of material and the images used for Spieglein, Spieglein direct the viewer to stereotypical gender-specific associations. There is a lot of play (Spiel) in a mirror (Spiegel), in this particular case, a Lil mirror (Spieglein), as suggested by the poetically archaic German suffix "lein" which is generally used for cute, harmless and often feminine things.
