Sylvia Konior is the queen of the self-portrait. She creates scenes in which a plot slowly unravels. Sometimes there is a quick laugh and instant humor. But the real story takes time and attention from those who watch. Sylvia may be the model in these portraits, but the subject is women as fellow human beings. With great recognisability, masterful humor and surreal situations, she creates her world in which she desperately searches her way. Propelled by questions about her family life, her body and her place in the world.
