Working across various media, my practice explores the interplay between the tangible—body, objects, and material—and the intangible—digital, energy, and spirits. Alongside my dedicated studio practice, where I focus on creating sculptures, video installations, and photographic works, I also develop long-term performative projects. These performances actively engage the public through location-specific choreographies, immersive soundscapes, and wearable textile props. By blurring the boundaries between spectator and performer, they address fundamental themes such as death, love, and compassion, while responding to the pressing environmental, political, and social challenges of our time.
Margret Wibmer (*Austria) is an internationally renowned visual and performance artist based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Her work explores the dynamic interplay between bodies, objects, and spaces. After formative years in New York City assisting minimalist artist Sol Lewitt alongside Kazuko Miyamoto, she developed a multidisciplinary practice spanning sculpture, video, photography, and participatory performance. Rooted in her upbringing in a textile-centered household, textiles remain a key material in her explorations of identity, care, and collective memory.
Her works have been exhibited and performed in Kikugawa area, Kanazawa, Japan i.c.w. NPO Tsuzuru; Fotoforum in Innsbruck, Austria; Capital C Amsterdam i.c.w.
