​Daniela Keiser. Oregano

Daniela Keiser ( *1963 ) has been exploring different formats of representation in her work since the beginning of her artistic career. The focus is on the relationship between image, language and text. Her large-scale installations often involve the entire room. Daniela Keiser's works are usually created in collaboration with artists from different cultures and other disciplines such as music, literature and architecture.
For the Bündner Kunstmuseum, she is creating a multi-sensory walk-in installation. In large photographs, she refers to a traditional Indian art form in which patterns are drawn on the ground in front of house entrances. Signs can be recognized in the patterns, but their meaning remains hidden.
The entire floor of the exhibition space is also painted and invites people to reflect, talk and exchange ideas. Sign language plays a central role as the fifth national language. The laboratory of the Bündner Kunstmuseum thus becomes a social space in which various forms of communication are negotiated.
