Theresa Baumgartner‘s artistic endeavors primarily revolve around the exploration of alternate realities, employing space and light installations to craft immersive environments that encourage the audience to contemplate their own perceptions of reality. Within each installation, the essence of her work transcends mere physical experience and lingers like the residual images imprinted on one’s retina after gazing at the sun.

These manifestations are born from Baumgartner’s innate drive to construct a world where the audience is prompted to delve into vulnerability, thus conceiving novel visions of our collective experiences, should we choose to embrace them.
