"[...] The installations undergo various medialities: painting as well as sculpture, photography as well as installation, film and the digital order of the computer. But the movement doesn’t seize up, no one medium is placed at the “center”, some central point from which it might be possible to clarify the situation. It is more likely that the assorted medialities in these installations speak to the viewer, only to say something completely different than what is dictated by technical circumstances, or which would be generated as their effect.

The letters on the bottom line are imperceptible. The viewer is left with a minimum; an initial exposure to the enigma of “the self” that was once called “the soul” and which has never been more questionable than it is today. Karina Nimmerfall’s installations encircle this secret – that is the reason they gauge distance, present escape velocities, destroy protective inventories taken of inside and outside, and it is the meaning behind the medialities and their codes. The destruction preserves the question at hand, because it isn’t even possible to pose it unequivocally anymore. " - Hans-Joachim Lenger
