Asta Gröting (*1961 in Herford / Germany, lives in Berlin) investigates the human body as a site of internal and external communication by means of the people around her and her own psyche. Referencing the readymade and the development of post-1960s material aesthetics, she engages with the language of everyday life both theoretically and artistically, visualizing complex issues of human coexistence from the perspective of cultural and scientific history. Although her work initially focused on sculpture, she began to explore the potential of the moving image in 1993.
