Studio + Laboratory Workshops of Knowledge

Be it artistic works or scientific discoveries, the end results are generally all that remain visible of the creative process. What happens behind closed doors in the laboratory or studio tends to be as invisible as it is mysterious. Stefanie Bürkle, a German artist and visual arts professor, chose to delve into these sites of creativity, using large- and medium-format analogue cameras to photograph scientists' laboratories and artists' studios in Berlin. Stefanie Burkle is an artist and a professor of fine art at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. She studied scenography in Paris and fine art at the Berlin University of the Arts. Her artistic practice ranges from painting and photography to video and installation. In addition to highlighting the connections between art and science, her art and research focus on a critical examination of urban space, exploring topics such as construction sites and facades, architecture as scenography, and theme parks and tourism.
