Nina's artistic focus lies on photographic works that negotiate sublime structures of biographical narratives, combining aspects of the performative with the time-based image space of photography.
Within this practice, two thematic complexes crystallize: on the one hand, photographs taken in nature that are linked to discourses on post-romanticism and negotiate psychological states in connection with the phenomenon of letting
go of people; on the other hand, series engaging with biographical narratives of her family that explicitly search for hidden and historical mechanisms of personality development and inherited traumas.
The often absurd or poetic atmosphere of her scenographies conveys the tension of her figures’ biographical experiences, while a whimsical, often humorous, approach plays a crucial role.
