Vreni Jäckle is a multidisciplinary artist who works across textiles, installation and painting. Vreni explores how clothing and societies shape our bodies, with a particular interest in the elasticity of bodies and lived experiences, and how it can be shaped by textile materials. After working in the fashion industry for the past 10 years they became hyper-aware of textile materialities. For Vreni, textile labor and environmental degradation are as inprinted into a garment as the personal and emotional narratives of the body; they coexist within the same fabric.
Vreni frequently works with discarded shapewear garments that are cut up, flattened, hung and folded to open them for alternative emotional connections and other meanings. In this endeavor, they also facilitate group experiments in which they co-creatively explore how these garments can be used to sculpt bodies in subversive ways.
Vreni is currently working on their master's thesis "Elastic Bodies" at the Berlin University of the Arts.
