2013, while living at the Wagenhalle in Stuttgart. Sarah Beekmann and I ran around the lot while she filmed with her 16 mm camera- this is the result. The title stems from the song Mystery girl by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. So be sure to have that in mind while viewing this.

Darius Sidlauskas & Angelina Seibert Ateiler and Workshop house
In the summer of 2023 we opened up our Atelier/Studio/Workshop house and took part in the Kultur Sommer im Silberland program in which I hosted a collage workshop for children and adults and also celebrated our opening with a small exhibition, with our works and the work produced at the collage workshop.

In slow motion, a carpet beater, similar to one you may remem-

ber from your grandparents’ household, slaps a bare bottom.
But instead of leaving painful skin behind, the tool shatters
into a thousand pieces—luckily! For Angelina Seibert, the car-
pet beater with its curved and intertwined ornamentation
symbolises infinity: continuously, the beater tries to spank the
bottom. A gesture of chastisement—one was not obedient,
one was not virtuous enough… physical or corporal punish-
ments are means that are frowned upon today. Yet it is the
metaphor of a patriarchy that at times very persistently tries
to beat her, which the artist transfers into the works Green
and Blue and Carpet Beater, but certainly not without a wink.
Carpetbeater 2022, Silicone
This Carpet beater, used to beat the rugs to rid them of dust and dirt shares the same qualities as a celtic symbol of eternity: The Trinity knot. The work goes on and on. The beating out of impurities. In this silicone sculpture, it has been transformed into a dildo that is ejeculating. This was my response to woman’s rights being taken away. This is my own symbol of the patriarchy in America today.
2021, Target sheets with red thread, metal pole with zip ties
This is my version of a Gobelin Tapestry inspired by gender roles and domestic violence.
2019-
Works are inspired by the time it takes until something good can turn rotten. Having ideas to work with lemons, buying lemons, only to finally get to the project and find them already spoiled. Using the making lemonade out of lemons anology, it was important for me to keep that moment. A slight change in perspective. Thats what #motherhood is all about. Using time wisely, getting things done for yourself. Knowing there are mistakes, reality of mold. Mistakes judged by the perfectionism of society standards. This is my work honoring that.
