Mira Thomsen`s art work is dedicated to nature and the question of what nature truely is. Her motif ranges from the breadth of the macro-cosmos through to the micro-cosmos. The dialogue with the subject of nature takes place using different artistic technique – collage, video, installation and sculpture.
The fascinating collages that emerge unite realism with sensory perception. The collages illustrate an unfamiliar reality by partly changed photos of the nature. Meteorites, blizzards or also flying bushes are moved into a new unnatural connection. Thus the collages combine real nature with surreal aspects. Within the sculpture and video works Mira Thomsen continues the estrangement of the nature.
