Mira Sanders

Mira Sanders (Ukkel ° 1973) studied Fine Arts at Sint-Lukas Brussels and teaches at the Faculty of Architecture Campus Sint-Lucas Brussels and Ghent. Her oeuvre consists of video works, drawings and installations, in which a constant quest emerges for the places, people and stories they contain.

Mira Sanders’ current work focuses on the positioning of objects, people or events in physical spaces and on the actual terrain. Her visual language consists of meticulous lines, markings, borders, routes, maps, plans and drawings that describe and redefine spaces, and outline imaginary journeys, in an attempt to surpass the limits of language. In the grey zone between architecture and city planning she explores the notion of “public” space: its physical limits, narratives that contribute to its formation, or its configuration in time. Mira Sanders started her PhD dissertation Over de (on)mogelijkheid om een beeld te vormen van limieten (About the (Im) possibility to Form an Idea of ​​Limits) in 2012.
