Description
Sandra Knecht is a Swiss conceptual and performance artist whose themes revolve around identity and home. Her practice encompasses cooking, photography, film, installation, and performance.
For almost ten years, she has been investigating the concept of home—geographically, historically, sociologically, philosophically, and culinarily. Her long-term research has resulted in an artist's book that presents the new photographic work group Tschinn and an unusual documentation of her work, drawing on her extensive image archive.
For Knecht, home is an unknown place that constantly feeds her artistic imagination, and which must be continually questioned and renegotiated.
