Laura Gaiser : „Mimikry“ - Opening / Friday  13. February 2026

What happens when bodies, materials, and identities merge, dissolve, and mimic one another? Laura Gaiser invites you to immerse yourself with her in a world where fluid transitions between human and animal, dream and reality, pleasure and trauma are explored. In her exhibition “Mimicry,” Gaiser transforms Künstlerhaus Meinersen into a space of in-betweenness—a place where the boundaries between different worlds dissolve.

Using stop-motion film, video installations, photography, and performative costumes, the artist creates an atmospheric visual language that unites tenderness, violence, beauty, and disquiet. Through the interplay of hybrid bodies and unique costumes, fragmented yet profound images emerge, opening a space for transformation and expanded perception.

Join us for the opening and experience how the body, in its vulnerable, wild, and transformative power, takes center stage as a site of healing.

Laura Gaiser, born in 1985, studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe under Toon Verhoef and John Bock and was a master student of John Bock.

Artist Statement

My recent and future research focuses on the study of digital media theory, social and cultural aspects and related artistic practice. In my current research, the topic of digital images and their materiality plays a crucial role. As a form of internal integration, digital images form a unified entity in empiricism and encompass all elements of spectacular cultural society.
