Paula Doepfner

Paula Doepfner (born in Berlin - July 1980) is a German artist. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany.[1] Paula Doepfner's multimedia body of work encompasses textual works on paper, reinforced glass objects, installations in glass, ice and organic matter and sound performances. Her drawings, delineated in miniature script on fine Japanese paper, are based on sketches made while observing brain operations and autopsies at the Charité Berlin. The texts themselves are drawn from neuroscientific research and medical documents on human rights abuses. They also bear traces of philosophical and lyrical sources such as Anne Carson, Paul Celan, Joyce Mansour and Robert Musil. Doepfner’s work combines various perspectives on states of mind, incorporates the passing of time and lays bare subcutaneous organic structures. Her work proceeds from what constitutes human experience, a complex combination of science, philosophy, literature and art.[2]
