an artist collaboration by iris holstein and matthias hederer
since 2001
the artist collaboration iris-a-maz deals with the artistic appropriation and interpretation of research and classification methods. theoretical, socio-cultural and scientific-historical phenomena are transformed into a performative aesthetic, using the media photography, video and sound and includes the space as a scenographic moment.
both studied at the interdisciplinary university hfg-karlsruhe among others at the classes: ulay, michael saup, didi danquart.
we are scientists, artists and lovers!
