Vogel also gives a tour of her studio, showing her elk-leather paintings and letting us into her process of preparing the I Have No Questions, I Have Only Answers exhibition for Museo Tamayo in Mexico. She works with triangular forms—the most unstable shape in geometry — to create awareness, but she renders them organically, keeping them in contrast with the surrounding space.

Raphaela Vogel (b. 1988, Nuremberg) is a Berlin-based artist whose immersive installations fuse sculpture, sound, and film, often featuring herself as performer. Trained at the Städelschule in Frankfurt and the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg, she is currently a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. Vogel’s work generates tension through eclectic materials and imagery, creating uncanny harmonies and fantastical disruptions. She has exhibited internationally at the 2022 Venice Biennale, Museo Tamayo, Kunsthalle Basel, Kunsthaus Bregenz, and Haus der Kunst. In 2024, she debuted with Petzel Gallery, New York, with an exhibition and performance at the Goethe-Institut.

Raphaela Vogel was interviewed by Astrid Agnes Hald in her studio in Pankow, Berlin, February 2025.
