Sarah Oppenheimer’s Mind-Bending Artworks Alter Gallery Spaces And Our Experience Of Them

Centered on themes including the manipulation of thresholds and transition spaces, movement, and tactile engagement, Oppenheimer’s art aims to disorient spatial experience and perception of the room while physically transforming their surroundings. Showcased in major institutions around the globe, her work engages with the restructuring, heightening, or negating of boundaries between and within architectural spaces. In her site-specific installations, panels, windows, doors, and walls transform and reconfigure the rooms they inhabit, both physically and perceptually, as visitors move around or interact with them.
