Artistic work

Petra Maria Mühl has been dealing with the overall topic of remembering and forgetting since 1994 .

In the work Der Rosentisch she experiments with wax and roses. Since 2005 it has offered a further introduction to art history in the Melencolia project and in the exhibition Saturn Time . In the Wiesbaden Women's Museum, Petra Maria Mühl showed three focal points of her work under the title Now memory becomes : order, objects and places. Her work Rosenkosmos was created in 2006 with large-format photographs of the rose wax objects (prints from the color negative on aluminum dibond , 1 × 1 m).

Since 2012 she has been dealing with installations and digital painting . In the installation The Smallest Cell , she showed one of the dungeons in which adults 'children or men' s women are imprisoned and abused.

Mühl's collages and photographs show digital motifs that are nested in different spatial and temporal levels. Mühl says: "I want to give the nomadic streams of images a permanent place in the global network."
