Sofie Muller
Sint Niklaas, Belgium 1974
Sofie Muller is a sculptor who prefers to work with traditional media such as bronze. In her -at first sight- traditional sculptures, she succeeds in introducing subtle changes that bring about minor mental landslides. Her oeuvre takes shape around a complex storyline involving physicality, sex, identity and transformation. Most of Muller’s sculptures have a filmic quality. Her sculptures are fragmented projections of slower-paced time and alienated space. Most often they are projections of child figures or youngsters; they are seducing, revolting, escaping, transforming and dreaming but also in agony, being punished, isolated and immobile. They are alone with their thoughts, un-present, disoriented and lonely.
