Kathmandu’s everyday trash is her inspiration for her upcoming art exhibition ‘You are the Observer’ that will be hosted from September 9 to September 13 at ARTUDIO, Center for Visual Arts in Swoyambhu. In her two months’ time that she has spent in Kathmandu, Koester has picked up discarded materials like mango peels, plastic bottles, potato sacks and ropes as elements for her mixed media collages and installations. She says, Kathmandu is her ideal muse. “I find everything interesting about this place. There’s so much going on at the same time but even with Kathmandu’s chaotic rush, I feel less stressed and more at peace here.”An undergraduate student of graphic design at Hamburg University of Applied Science, 22-year-old Koester decided to embark on a world tour with her partner William Sikker.Not more than a year ago they left Germany. Koester and Sikker, who is a musician, wanted this trip to be an opportunity to serve as international volunteers for humanitarian causes and at the same time explore the international art scene. -
