In her often large-scale drawings Jorinde Voigt develops her own visual language, a kind of abstract sign code that seems deeply subjective and individual at first but is abiding by strict rules. Blurring the border between science and art, she analyzes the structures of diverse cultural patterns and natural phenomena. The resulting notations are the attempt at making the invisible visible, at unfolding the world into its basic parameters (such as distance, speed, orientation, frequency, genre) through a philosophical drawing process in order to reveal the synchronicity of possibilities. Jorinde Voigt’s three-dimensional works are the continuation of her two-dimensional notation systems.
