Innmann engages in her artistic practice with the connections and interactions between human behaviour and the surrounding structures in which our actions take place. In this process, the factors of time (duration), space (place) and environment (human and non-human) operate as independent agents and are thus significantly responsible for the appearance of her works.
In her two performances, Innmann tackles the questions, among other things, how we use our time and what value time owns for us. In fact, Berlin pays 800 Euro to honour the work of artists in small group exhibitions. In a critical take on this aspect, Innmann will labour in her performance until she reaches the exact amount of an hourly wage of 80 Euro: she shovels sand from one pile to another or scrubs a world map. All the while, a punch clock records her working hours. In doing so, Innmann explores in this way the relationship between work and time with a critical focus on the instrumentalization of labour in different political systems. By keeping people constantly busy, they are formally tranquillized and deprived of the opportunity to make their own reasonable decisions.
Sophie Innmann studied painting and graphic arts at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe. She has lived and worked without a permanent residence since 2015. Work residencies have taken her to Paris, Barcelona, Minneapolis, Yogyakarta, Plovdiv and Elefsina, among others. Following the logic of this way of life, Innmann is interested in network structures, the archiving of action, appearance and disappearance. Connecting women artists in joint artistic and curatorial projects forms another essential part of her work. In 2020, she received a working grant from the Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn. Her work has been presented internationally at venues including the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, the Kunsthalle Basel, the MoMA Moscow and the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart.
