Biography

Sylvia Hostettler was born in Biel in 1965. She currently lives and works in Bern. She studied at the Bern University of the Arts (HKB), with a focus on sculpture. Her artistic work is devoted to the invisible or barely visible. Excursions in nature have always served her as a source of inspiration. Over the years, these journeys guided her through diverse landscapes: the Swiss Alps, Iceland, and as an artist-in-lab into the world of research. These explorations have become "performing walks" and "philosophical reflections". The cycle "Landscapes" emerged from the journeys. A main area of Sylvia Hostettler's work is the sculptural object. It is often integrated into space-encompassing installations, consisting of different artistic media.
