In a Room –
Drei Worte für ein Ich, das sich selbst begegnet – und dabei die Welt nicht aus den Augen verliert.
What My Art Gives to Collectors
My photographs are more than images that inhabit a space. They carry a particular atmosphere — a connection between human beings, nature, memory and the unseen.
Collectors of my work have often told me that they experience a positive energy and a sense of inner strength in my images. Some connect their works with personal memories; others with a feeling of hope, freedom or quietness. For me, this is an essential part of art: it does not remain on the wall, but continues to resonate within the life of the person who lives with it.
My art is not meant to explain. It is meant to evoke.
A feeling. A memory. A thought. Perhaps even a small sense of happiness.
In this way, a work becomes something deeply personal to the collector — a quiet counterpart, carrying its own energy and becoming part of the collector’s individual story.
MOMENT
ArtEve (since 1999) Eva-Maria Horstick is a German visual artist known for her dynamic, interdisciplinary approach that blends photography, installation, sculpture, performance, and new media. Born in Gescher and now based in Dortmund, she began engaging with photography at the age of ten, developing a deep fascination with the emotional and social power of images. She later studied Photo Design at the Fachhochschule Dortmund, where she refined her technical and conceptual foundations while exploring the intersection between human experience, visual storytelling, and contemporary culture.
Horstick’s artistic practice consistently moves beyond traditional photographic boundaries. Her projects often investigate perception, identity, and the complexities of modern life. Over the years she has expanded her creative language to include experimental installations, special sculptural work presented in Jerusalem 2023/4 and, most recently, AI-assisted visual production from her own archive. Her openness to emergent technologies reflects her belief that art must evolve with society while retaining a strong human and emotional core.
Her work has been exhibited internationally. A significant milestone was her participation in the 2018 exhibition “Photography Meets Manga” in Tokyo, where her visual narratives entered into dialogue with Japanese pop-culture aesthetics. The show introduced her work to a broader global audience and highlighted her ability to bridge cultural contexts through imagery. Sönke C. WEiSS
