Ursa Schoepper
Ursa Schoepper first completed her studies in Natural Science with state examination. In addition, she completed a study in cultural management, state examination, with a concentration in fine arts, new media under Prof. Dr. Eckart Pankoke, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Krempel and Prof. Dr. Michael Bockemühl. In her Agentur für Virtuelle Denkraeume she was working as a culturalmanager. In 2001 she was awarded the Media Promotion Prize of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia for „Das Museum der abwesenden Bilder“.
Since 2003 she has been working primarily as a photographic artist. Her artworks were created from a self-made photography, that showed something other than what the image as an artwork reveals through transformation. It makes a difference between what my eye sees and what my soul perceives through a transformation, through imagination. She is developing autonomous artworks that exist as a virtual reality in a realistic photography. It is a transformation of real objects into abstract objects, the transformation of the concrete image into abstract artwork, an abstract autonomous photographic artwork.
Her artwork has been exhibited internationally, and she is the recipient of notable awards and they are in interesting collections, for example, in the Museo Civico Giovanni Fattori ex Granai de Villa Mimbelli and Fortezza Vecchia, Livorno, or the Helmholtz Zentrum für Materialien und Energie Berlin, Berlin - Wannsee und Berlin Adlershof.
