WHO IS PIA POI

"Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph."
Pia Poi grew up in Oberammergau and currently resides between Munich and Berlin. The artist studied sociology and initially paved her way into consulting, working in the automotive and change management sector for years during her studies. She has been practicing photography since the age of fourteen. Pia Poi explores socio-philosophical themes, placing her focus on questions of the concept of truth and questioning subjectivity, as well as postmodernity and its impact on the individual. Her works showcase complex color fields and contrasts, with soft transitions and recurring symmetry defining her style. The accompanying texts are also written by the artist. She is currently exhibited nationwide in solo shows, group exhibitions, and art fairs. "Art has always been where I didn't have to pretend, didn't have to be harder than I was... art gives me the space to express exactly what I think and feel... what occupies me, even without speaking, it is a reflection of myself." "I am incredibly fascinated by the beauty, the colorful variety, and the depth that the night brings. I go out at night with my music playing in my ears and let myself be guided from one light source to the next; I also capture shadows and reflections with my camera. Sometimes I sit for an hour on the ground in front of a lantern or a shop window to get the best shot..."

What they say
"Schönheit ist oft nur eine Frage der richtigen Perspektive“
Süddeutsche Zeitung 26.Juni 2023
Pia Schöttke will "eine Perspektive finden, in der ich die Besonderheiten des Alltäglichen hervorheben kann".
Die Nacht ist das Atelier von Pia Schöttke, 25. Hier verwandelt sie München zu abstrakten Kunstwerken.
Es geht nicht um Gegenstände - sie möchte die Besonderheiten des Alltäglichen hervorheben.

Von Julian Gülker
