“I essentially see myself as a performance artist who not only places her own body and personality within different social contexts, but also deliberately leaves visible traces. In the tradition of American and German performance art, I intervene in unfamiliar contexts and mark the accidental traces that other people unconsciously leave behind.
In my performances, I act as a moderator and visual translator of everyday, rather inconspicuous human actions that could take place anywhere in the world. Through these “trace recordings” (Spurensicherungen), I conduct a kind of culture-specific analysis on several levels, since every performance is always preceded by an extensive study of the spaces and the society in question.” - Birgit Ramsauer
