The collages are shown in mock-ups that recreate living and home scenarios. This gives a small vision of how the works would look in a room, what atmosphere they would create and how they could be an addition to a home. It&#39;s less about scale or interior design and more about the feeling they create in a room.

photography and collage: alina herzau / 2026waiting game documents regional bus stops where, even today, network connection is limited. The series captures the architecture of these stops and their context within the countryside. In addition, digital scans are used to record materials, textures, tags and other signs of human presence. These elements are then integrated into mixed-media collages.The images are shot with an older Canon digital camera — from a time before constant digital distraction became a part of everyday life.The title waiting game refers to the paradoxical relationship between waiting and entertainment. In the digital age, waiting time is usually filled with quick distractions, focusing attention on screens rather than the space around us.The bus stops shown here represent a different way of experiencing time. Signs of use, intervention, and change — whether casual, playful, destructive or creative — show that waiting here means engaging directly with the environment. Waiting becomes an action connected to the place.

Die Drucke zeigen in intensiven Nahaufnahmen, oder als sich wiederholendes Raster, scheinbar banale und ordinäre Ansichten, wie Rosenkohl und Donuts, Steckdosenverteiler und Zuckerdosen, Glasbausteinfassaden. Durch das kreative Sammeln und Zweckentfremden von Objekten verleiht sie dem Gewöhnlichen eine neue Funktion und Bedeutung. Durch die Mixed-Media Herangehensweise entstehen auf der ungleichmäßigen Oberfläche der Briefumschläge zufällige Strukturen, die mit dem Motiv zu unerwarteten Kompositionen zusammenfließen. Die Spontanität der Form und der Zufall der Anordnung verleihen den Bildern eine Lebendigkeit und Dynamik, die die Betrachtenden zu einer neuen Wahrnehmung des Gewohnten veranlassen. Ein Prozess der Neuinterpretation, der die Philosophie der Kreation anspricht: durch das Zusammensetzen und Umdeuten des Vorhandenen etwas Neues und Wertvolles zu erschaffen. – Jennifer Agnes Winkler

Kreative Werkstatt Dresden e.V.input:output highlights the multifaceted nature of female identity – an identity shaped by encounters, inspiration and the shared experiences between women. The collage technique symbolizes how different perspectives and influences merge into a growing, evolving silhouette. Two aspects are central: input and output. Input reflects the shaping forces we receive from other women – support, encouragement and solidarity. The interlocking hands represent this sense of connection. Output expresses what we pass on to others: to women around us, to our communities and to future generations. Elements extending from the silhouette illustrate this ongoing influence.At the heart of the work is the responsibility women carry for one another and the strength that emerges from these relationships. Every interaction leaves an imprint – shaping who we are and what we bring into the world.

mixed media collage: alina herzau, selection 2021slides altered by natural bleaching and collaged in the projection.not yours ist eine Serie experimenteller Fotografien, in denen fremde Dias manipuliert und in abstrakte, farbintensive Bildräume überführt werden. Die Arbeiten lösen Erinnerungen aus ihrem ursprünglichen Kontext und eröffnen neue visuelle Flächen.Die Serie reflektiert die Absurdität individueller Wahrnehmung: dass Menschen dieselbe Situation erleben können und dennoch unterschiedliche Wahrheiten und Erinnerungen daraus formen. Die abstrahierten Farb- und Strukturwelten entziehen sich jeder zeitlichen oder kulturellen Zuordnung und schaffen offene Räume für persönliche Projektionen.

mixed media collage: alina herzau / 2025published in Wegen:Art Magazin on the topic pattern.Alina Herzau untersucht in ihren Mixed-Media-Collagen getting us anywhere&nbsp;(2025) die Materialität und Symbolik von Textilien. Kleidung ist hier nicht bloß Oberfläche, sondern ein System kultureller Codes, in dem Muster Zeichen sozialer Zugehörigkeit, Hierarchie und Selbstinszenierung sind. Herzau kombiniert analoge und digitale Schichten zu Bildern, die Bewegung und Reibung erzeugen. Die textilen Strukturen spiegeln ein Gewebe aus Erwartungen, Rollen und Bedeutungen. Ihre Collagen visualisieren eine daraus resultierende Dynamik zwischen Anpassung und Zerrissenheit. – Tatjana Heinrich
