Art was born in her cradle. Sabrina Lößl-Lamboy’s mother works in fashion, her father in film. Sabrina, 25, tried out different directions in her childhood. “My mother likes to say that I made my first stop-motion film in the 5th grade with our camcorder without knowing anything about it.”
“I still like to experiment to this day. I feel like it’s okay to make mistakes,” says Sabrina. She feels particularly pressured by social media. In order to be creative, the communication design student must feel comfortable. “Then I have a clicking moment,” she says. She then implements her idea at night with the camera, the drawing pad or the carving knife.
Sabrina herself is of the opinion that anyone can make art. “The term art is associated with something elitist. Anyone can pick up a pen. Art is just expression,” she says. She also wants to carry this message forward through her involvement in the Crèmbach collective. The collective was founded in 2020 as a youth committee and funded by the Federal Cultural Foundation.
But the funding ran out at the end of last year and the future is now uncertain. “For me, the collective means art education; we want to take art off its pedestal,” says Sabrina. For example, they have already organized graffiti workshops and painting activities with children. “We like to do something like that, but we don’t have the material. That’s a certain tension.”
When it comes to her own work, it’s important to Sabrina that it expresses something: “I like it when there are stories behind my work.” One of her favorite works is the photo series “My Way,” which was taken spontaneously in her room at night. She put on her makeup, put on a rocking playlist and put the camera on the tripod. “The series shows how I can express myself when there is no one around.”
Sabrina also enjoys manual work. Most recently, she made a mobile table tennis table at college. The theme of the work was loneliness – with her project she wants to connect people in the big city. In the future, Sabrina could imagine working as a craftsman. “I don’t want to work in art itself because then the spontaneity would disappear,” she says.
