SAME ROOTS, DIFFERENT WINGS

​

Two sisters. A shared origin.
Two distinct ways of seeing, feeling and creating.

​

Anita Klaiber · Things with Souls 
Old silk ties return as butterflies.
Objects carrying memories, stories and invisible ties are transformed — not simply given a second life, but allowed to become something else.

​

Bettina Klaiber · Artist
Her latest works emerge from light, shadow and movement — from moments of watching without searching.
They explore the fragile space before perception becomes meaning, before appearance becomes language.

​

Different paths. Different expressions.
A shared sensitivity for what might otherwise remain unseen.

Come as you are.
Meet what finds you.

 

Some of our fondest childhood memories are when we two sisters were creating and making things together. Wether it was covering a terrace with chalk paintings of fairy tales, or creating, crafting and sewing puppets and entire sets for puppet shows, covering the floor of our room with streets for our little cars, sewing clothes for our dolls, and so much more, we were always entirely absorbed by our projects, spending entire days in our imagined world. We wouldn’t want to go to sleep and couldn’t wait to wake up the next morning to continue with the project of the moment. It was always a harmonious symbiotic collaboration. There was no pressure, just pure pleasure.

Our lives separated us geographically, but both of us continued to be creative, studying design, and art.

And now, after almost four decades we will unite in one space, to show our work together and share our passion for art, design and craft with you.

We hope the magic continues and we are looking forward to welcoming you at Zähringer Boutique, Kramgasse 62, Bern
