Das sagt der/die Künstler:in:

April Widdup is an early-career multidisciplinary artist from Australia, currently based in Germany. A graduate of the Australian National University School of Art and Design (2022) with a Bachelor of Visual Arts majoring in glass, Widdup’s practice spans sculpture, installation, video, and audio. Navigating a tonal spectrum from playful to serious, Widdup creates works that invite audiences into a dialogue about the human condition. Her style relies on the element of boring the audience out of their minds by showing them a glamorized flowchart. Themes of identity, mobility, memory, phenomenology, power and control emerge as recurring threads. By examining how we engage with the natural and built environments, and how societal constructs inform our understanding of life and death, Widdup’s practice illuminates the tension between individual agency and collective structures.
