Artistic work

Ina Bierstedt's work has been dominated by landscape painting from the start . The painter's focus is not on the depiction of landscape (s), but on the construction of territories and pictorial image systems that arise at the interface between nature and culture and their interferences.

Bierstedt arrives at her image inventions through a layering and collage-like process, whereby the deviation from the original, the reinvention during the painting process, is decisive. Her stage-like landscapes, created since 2004, show unusual perspectives and reflections. The nature in Ina Bierstedt's pictures is made up of set pieces that have already been passed down through other media.

With her project Mirrored Windows , started in 2013 , Ina Bierstedt pursues an update of aesthetic memory work from a painterly perspective. The starting point of this project is the work of her father Wolfgang Bierstedt, who worked as a painter and graphic artist outside the official art business of the GDR . For Ina Bierstedt, memory is both a trigger and an object of artistic investigation. The title of the project “Mirrored Windows” brings together different ideas and metaphors. In her room arrangements the artist explores the possibilities of an unbiased view.

It opens up an artistic and cultural anthropological field, incorporating various associative methods, painting techniques, as well as the media installation and video . For Mirrored Windows , Ina Bierstedt worked with the sculptor Anna Gollwitzer and the art historian Claudia Beelitz .

In 2001 Ina Bierstedt founded the Berlin artist initiative CAPRI together with Alena Meier and the artist and author Bettina Carl . CAPRI initially realized numerous exhibitions in the project space of the same name for contemporary art from 2001 to 2006 and is still active today with international institutional exhibition projects .
