Sarah Kürten's art is characterised by a close connection between pictures and self-written texts, which merge together under the common label of poetry. As an author and visual artist, she thus realises her passion for language, especially linguistic images, which she combines on an equal level with sensitively collaged prints. She creates atmospherically dense moments from found images by colouring and layering them. Whether the access to these works is via the content of the English-language texts or rather via visual impressions - images and typesetting - this is left to the preferences of the audience. The work can be accessed from both sides and at the same time each medium offers extension to the issues that are raised. Together, both facets of the work create a poetic atmosphere that opens up space for free associations.

In the artothek, Sarah Kürten reflects on social issues, in particular the coexistence of opposing forms of life. The dazzling meets the precarious, desires meet reality. They reflect the tensions in everyday existence.
