Gabriela Kobus is a visual artist based in Leipzig , Germany.
She uses her artistic work as a method to sensitize our perception of everyday surface phenomena and to question our relationships to places and people as well as to objects and other living beings.
She is interested in the complex network of habitats and social systems. Paying attention to the forms and value systems that emerge in the process, she searches for patterns of inclusion and exclusion.
The unmanageable is brought into seemingly reliable forms in order to raise new questions in an irritating, sometimes humorous way.
