Fedele Maura Friede folds large sheets of paper into small parcels, which she repeatedly (partially) unfolds and
draws on while exploring an environment or space. A spontaneous, specific impression that arises on site – that
which immediately imposes itself – is documented.
Fedele Maura Friede's work moves between microcosm and grand panorama. The non-linearity of the narratives
inherent in her works continuously provides new perspectives. What could previously be taken for granted – the
space, the environment: everything that only appears to be in the immediate vicinity – folds up in one area in
order to expand unexpectedly in another.
