Sylvia Schwenk

Sylvia Schwenk is a German born artist who lives and works in Sydney, Australia and Berlin, Germany. Her practice is interdisciplinary and looks at the relationship between performance and the everyday, reflecting upon the significance and beauty of commonplace activities and spaces.  Sometimes Sylvia simply captures a moment, and other times she creates socially based interventions using what she calls performosis – a process where everyday people become performers, and spectators and passers-by performing their daily activities become active parts in the work of performance art she directs.
