Hanna Klingseisen’s artistic practice centers on the textile medium, which she views as a culturally shaped material and a vehicle for social and historical processes. By combining and juxtaposing textile surfaces, structures, and tactile qualities, she explores the material in both two- and three-dimensional forms. Drawing on textile principles such as folds, surface textures, and layering, she examines the influence of touch, memory, and tactile perception on human existence and our relationship to the world.
Textiles, understood as a second skin and a mediating membrane between the body and the environment, function as a medium of demarcation and communication. They serve as repositories of sensory experiences and memories, opening up moments of contact and resonance with the surrounding world. In an increasingly visual culture, her practice brings tactile and sensory perception to the forefront as the foundation of relationship and experience.
Hanna Klingseisen’s work is shaped by many years of practice as a tailor, designer, and lecturer in materials and construction techniques, as well as by a theoretical engagement developed through her studies in art history.
Her work is on display at commonsense gallery in Milan, as well as in Munich at the VOR Studio and her own munich based atelier.
