Claudia Breitschmid (*1983, Aarau) is a visual artist working between photography, print-based processes, moving image, site-responsive installation, and text. Her practice explores how humans and their environments transform one another through research-driven projects that often include collaboration, material experiments, and archival work.

Fluchtwege

By entering the space, visitors activate a light control system. After a short delay, the room falls dark. A fluorescent drawing becomes visible across the walls and ceiling. In darkness, perception sharpens. The light returns, and the drawing almost disappears.

Rather than being imposed onto the architecture, the drawing follows what is already there, tracing existing cracks and lines of tension within the masonry.
