Biography
Journal pour un usager de l’espace (Journal for a user of space) is the generic title used by Mira Sanders for the way she approaches art. Its multiple aspects correspond to the diversity of the activity covered. Thus, the term Journal refers to the log or the diary but also to the newspaper as a distribution channel for information, be it political, cultural or other, either general or rather based on common facts. The term user relates both to the artist herself and to us, the spectators- possible users. Through Mira Sanders’ way of using space, it oscillates permanently from private to public space, covering both the geographical and physical space, mental and even sentimental space.
In a way, one could describe Mira Sanders as a discreet yet efficient and critical explorer of the world that surrounds her, who attempts to re-look, re-see, re-discover and re-hear not only things but also beings, as well as the structures by which they are linked and in which they function or are supposed to function.(excerpt)
