Isabella Fürnkäs was born in Tokyo in 1988. She has lived and worked in Düsseldorf and Berlin since 2011. She is an artist who works in a variety of media, with expansive video, object and sound installations. In them, she traces intimate communication processes and explores the complexity of intimate relationships. Using differently installed media, she negotiates questions of physicality, expression, vulnerability and fragility.

With her artistic intervention in the chapel of Museum Schloss Moyland, Isabella Fürnkäs enters into a subtle exchange with the historically charged spaces of the museum: as a scholarship holder of the BERLIN MASTERS 2022 funding programme, the artist spent six weeks in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence as part of the Schliemann Residency, where she developed, among other things, the new video installation for the museum. With her site-specific multimedia installation, a room within a room is created on site, the opening of which takes the visitor to Tokyo. Furthermore, the artist is showing large-format drops made of specially hand-blown ruby glass, which open up an exciting dialogue with Georg Meistermann's windows.
