life and work

Svetlana Kopystiansky moved to New York in 1988. In 1990 she received a DAAD scholarship . In 2008 she became Residences Internationales aux Recollets in Paris.

In the early 1980s, Svetlana Kopystiansky created typefaces based on landscape paintings. She copies these by copying existing texts. The contours of the landscape result from the different color intensities of the ink. In more recent works she crumples the written paper, creating structures that show the text and at the same time partially cover it. In 1997 she took part in the Skulptur.Projekte , Münster.

Svetlana and Igor Kopystiansky pursue individual careers, but also regularly worked together. Among other things, they jointly exhibited The boundary rider at the Biennale of Sydney and Flow at documenta11 .
