For Hertig, thinking in terms of collage means relating the parts and the whole to one another. But it also means contemplating the whole from the perspective of a single part: The collage as a « form of thought of reflected seeing ».
With reference to the ambiguous exhibition title, « Overlook » plays with the tension between "seeing" and "overlooking" within and outside the classic image boundaries and thus reflects essential aspects of visual perception and art reception.
Sabine Hertig is interested in “heterogeneous spaces of possibility”, as in the form of fictitious stages as well as exhibition and reflection spaces that can be visually explored and researched – complex works in which the viewer is often seen as an active part of the ‘staging’.
The seemingly limitless possibilities of her pictorial spaces are evident on both a motif and media level, whereby she continually shifts the genre boundaries of collage and redefines them for herself through a variety of techniques – such as photography, painting, drawing and water drawing.
