In her work Sophie Ernst asks questions about mediated perception. She looks at relations between architecture or objects and our memories and sense of identity. She has shown widely at exhibitions like 6th Moscow Biennale; 14th Asia Triennial, Manchester; 9th Sharjah Biennial; Johnson Museum, Cornell University and Nasher Museum, Duke University; ZKM (Karlsruhe); and solo exhibitions: Kunstverein Heidelberg; Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
She holds a PhD from Leiden University
