Seit ihrem 18ten Lebensjahr hat Franziska Michaelis häufig im Ausland gelebt, darunter in den USA, England, Australien und Spanien. Daher beschäftigen sich Ihre Arbeiten u.a. mit der Frage nach Identität und Herkunft.
Was beeinflusst das Individuum im Alltag, was ist seine wirkliche Bestimmung und welchen Weg folgt der Mensch eigentlich, wenn er seiner inneren Stimme lauscht?
Surreale Elemente faszinieren sie ebenso wie das Geheimnisvolle und Märchenhafte. Durch die Entmantelung des Alltäglichen ins Traumhafte und Absurde platziert sie Dinge aus dem Kontext heraus in einen neuen Mikrokosmos.
Ihre Inspirationen findet sie in Beobachtungen des Zwischenmenschlichen, flüchtigen Unterhaltungen und absurden Momenten im Alltag.

Since she was 18, Franziska Michaelis has often lived abroad, in such places as USA, UK, Australia and Spain. As a consequence, her work often deals with the question of identity and origin.
What affects the individual in everyday life, what is its true destiny and what path would it follow if it listens to its inner voice?
The surreal, mysterious and fabulous has always been fascinating for her. Franziska likes to transform everyday moments into a dream-like and absurd character which she places out of context into a new microcosm.
Her inspirations are found in observations of the interpersonal, emphemeral conversations and absurd moments in everyday life.
