Sasha Gold (b. 1987) is an artist based in Hamburg. After studying law, she worked as a criminal
defense attorney. A few years later, she gave up her learned profession – to find her calling in art. Her debut project as Sasha Gold ‘Why not? Everybody’s darling’ (Saab 900, mirror shards, glue, 2020) immediately reached attention:
As a sculptor, she is dedicated to work with reflections, using mirror shards. Mirrors are charged with projections and myths, which inspires her to reappropriate the medium in her artistic process.
“When I combine my sculptures with light, a new level opens up: the projections that we put into an object reflect back on us. I am looking forward to work with the surroundings of Skagaströnd. Mirror shards look a lot like ice, so I can’t wait to embed them in Icelandic nature.“
Sasha Gold and the artist Lichtloch are the founders of Planten un Lumen, which
is an annual exhibition of different versions of light art in the public park in Hamburg called Planten un Blomen. Planten un Lumen took place for the second time in October 2023.
