TATJANA BERGELT
artist’s statement
I moved to Finland 1998.
Having a multicultural background – German – Russian – Jewish, the need of communication and the difficulty of achieving it, despite the experience of several languages - verbal and visual – have become driving forces in my working process. Using collage and different print techniques, with the help of fragmentation, I am creating stories and relations between the visible and imagined worlds. In my artists’ books I like to use texts by living authors and reinvent found material. My work relates to time, history and the human being as such.
