Maike Statz is an artist and interior architect educated in The Netherlands and Australia, now living in Bergen, Norway. Through her work she is engaged in the influence of architecture on individuals and society, focusing on the relationship between gender, sexuality and space. Working with writing and installation, Maike makes use of design tools and methodologies, questioning how history is embedded in our various architectures and what power dynamics are at play. Recently Maike introduced science fiction into her practice, suggesting feminist science fiction as a literary genre through which the cultural constructions of race, class, sex, sexuality, and gender can be decoded. What can we learn from spaces built through writing, in a context where reality is ruptured and re-imagined?
