Pola Brändle (born April 7, 1980) in Aachen, Germany) is a German collage/decollage artist and photographer who now lives and works in Berlin, Germany and Santanyí, Mallorca.

Life

After Brändle had finished her high school education in Aachen she joined the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and finished her studies as a Bachelor of Design in 2003. Brändle’s final work at the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts was supported by the "TENT Academy Award" (Rotterdam) with nine other nominations [1] as best final works in the Netherlands. During her studies Brändle developed her artistic photographic potentials and discovered the fascination of posters and their artistic opportunities for further editing. After several stages of life in Portsmouth, Berlin and Lisbon, she went to the Mediterranean island of Mallorca. Since 2012 she is back in Berlin.

Opus

Pola Brändle at work in her studio

Brändle photographs and edits posters.[2] She uses posters as a commodity, in order to create independent art works of its own kind.

"Pola Brändle treats again, the subject of collage and décollage, interpreting it in a new manner. This is the way traditions are formed. She also uses the de-clarifying, the obscuring section, the near view preventing you from getting a grasp of the whole; an aesthetic intimacy bleeding into the uncontrollable poetic. This makes the poster walls which she photographed in twenty six countries, almost look like classical compositions as in the work of Kurt Schwitters. This is the European way of doing it, a counterposition to American art like that of Robert Rauschenberg, where the classical rules do not apply." [3]

"Like an archaeologist she is uncovering yesterday and preserving it for tomorrow" [4]
