“Margarita Wenzel was born in East Germany and raised in Iran. In her artistic practice, she explores the subjectivity of knowledge, ruptures in historical narratives, and the complex nature of human perception. She engages in exploratory research without confining herself to a particular medium, creating distinct works that are interconnected to build multi-level narrative structures in complex spatial installations.”
Fondation Fiminco, 2025
“Throughout her career, Wenzel’s spatial installations have taken many forms, embodying the exploratory research at the heart of her practice. By creating works that are site-specific in the deepest sense of the word, the projects are never wedded to one medium, but present considerate visual responses to individual contexts.”
