Jorinde Voigt's art practice is intertwined with philosophy, for an attempt to make sense of the world objectively, to transform sound, movement, time, form, perception and science into a single representational schema. With a free hand and delicate signs, Jorinde Voigt takes straight lines and curves, numbers, words and collage elements and transforms them into a visual grammatology to create comprehensive and energetic yet cryptically ordered compositions.
