Wiebke Kirchner
Fine Arts

Wiebke Kirchner studied Fine Art at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle. Her artistic practice is grounded in an engagement with social spaces as well as individual and collective processes of transformation. Collage is her central medium: through the deliberate arrangement of fragments drawn from different contexts and materials, she creates works that reflect on interpersonal connections. 
Participatory formats are integral to Kirchner's approach. She creates open situations in which the individual perspectives of participants are brought together co-creatively into a communal image. 

Her residency fellowships include the City of Vechta (2019), the Cranach Foundation Wittenberg (2020), and Saiko Neon in Fujikawaguchiko, Japan (2025), as well as several project and international mobility grants from the Art Foundation of Saxony-Anhalt (2017–19, 2023). 

Her work has been shown at venues including the Cranach Museum Wittenberg (2026), the Walkmühle Artists' Association Wiesbaden (2025), the Green Hill Gallery Berlin (2025), and the German Embassy in Yerevan, Armenia (2019). 

In Kyōto, Wiebke Kirchner is researching collective forms of visual expression and artistic practice in Japan, while also pursuing material research into traditional washi paper. On this basis, she develops participatory formats that invite people to express their own experiences of closeness, distance, and togetherness.
