Of central importance to Regine Müller-Waldeck, as she herself says, is “the relationship of expressed inoffensiveness and gracefulness to violence and power, of perceived otherness to habituation and open manipulation; the search for the boundary between normality and the eerily unfamiliar”. The Leipzig artist sees her installations and objects as vehicles to generate dialogues within and between observers. So, for example, two things, at first sight contradictory, are often in apposition: monumental objects are formed from wax, apparently fluid material elements are held in frozen gestures.
