Biggi Stiller has started using her work to set up experimental "windows" to experience social challenges. She tries to distance herself from presenting art as a form of display and has started to turn the observer into an active participant. She enjoys exploring human complexities in an often regulated set-up offering an intriguing space for challenging experiences.
Biggi's performance-based work comes alive in controlled scenarios through the participation of visitors, or invited contributors. It can push the artist as well as the active audience to their limits. This has included putting herself up for experimentation, becoming the victim of her own devised set-ups and social arrangements, as well as forcing others to become responsive. Her work examines aspects of social anxiety and moral responsibility.
Currently, Biggi is also collaborating with Anna Feracci on a project that will manifest itself in the form of an interactive, networking and critical art practice website. This project will reside in a virtual, as well as tangible, space exploring critical discourses through interaction with like-minded artists. It will offer a space for everyone who wishes to explore theoretical challenges and it will also create a platform to show and critically evaluate work, including online performances.
Some of the artists who are influential to Biggi’s work are Marina Abramovic, Tino Seghal, Sophie Calle and Roman Ondak.
