In the artists Studio, Gabi Trinkaus is surrounded by thousands of paper snippets out of fashion magazines. Trinkaus has called herself a “medium thief”, cutting up high brightness magazines into small parts, using the pictures of our desires from magazines to create her portraits and city landscapes that make references to the aesthetics of advertising and the media that surrounds us in or everyday lives. From far her images look different than when you get close and see how the collage breaks at points to meet her pencil lines, creating an obstruction of the depth, exposing a dismantling of our perceptions of reality.
