Larissa Fassler (b.1975, Vancouver, Canada) has lived and worked in Berlin since 1999. For the past 18 years, Fassler has been creating works of art that document and interrogate the geo-spatial politics of city life. With cartographic paintings and drawings, and architectural sculptures, she creates visualisations of the observable and intangible characteristics of a city, and document the complicated socioeconomic and cultural issues affecting urban space today.
Drawing on the tradition of psychogeography, she maps urban landscapes using her own body. She employs my own subjective systems to survey public spaces by walking their length and breadth, recording her corporeal experiences and spending hundreds of hours collecting detailed observations onsite as well undertaking archival and online research.
She is represented by Galerie Poggi, Paris
