Tatjana Stürmer (*1993) is an artist and (graphic) designer based in Frankfurt, DE, and Amsterdam, NL.
In her work she moves between design practice and multimedia installations. They often revolve around the performativity of (visual) language and investigate how it shapes our social and political experiences.
Retrospection, sometimes into the early Middle Ages, informs her speculations about possible future scenarios.
She is currently lecturer and associated researcher at the University of Arts and Design Offenbach (HfG) in the Department of Arts – Graphics & Illustration.
