Sander's artistry has revolved around the private/ public, the "other"
and in her artworks she repeatedly work with the suburb, language,
identity in relation to the consumption-society. Her works often
has an interactive character.
Normative body
The relationship between late capitalism, language and desire is
not only outside us, detached and isolated in global companies,
in labour exploitation or in the third-world produced luxury consumer
goods. It is an economic logic, which lives in our nervous systems,
that breeds in our fantasies and feeds on our desire to posses and
our fear of loosing or wanting. And one wants. Economy is more than
money, it is the exchange of labour, faces, images, words, knowledge,
power, travel, sex, escapes, traps, hunts. The images surrounding
us and addressing us most intimately. The ones that tells us that
they know us the best and that they are able to articulate our most
hidden desires are the ones in the public spaces, the ones that
help us need what we buy. They are images which speaks to our open
minds, but to which we are denied access. After this image, there
is nothing else but a little price tag, he indexes of exchangeability.
It is nothing, it is enormous, and it is something else. One does
not dream, one is dreamed of, silence.
