Renata Müller-Tiburtius is a visual artist who studied Fine Arts at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and currently lives and works in Berlin. She is an artist who always raises a question about how narratives are inscribed into physical bodies, collective care, and the boundary between the familiar and the foreign, based on cross-disciplinary sculpture, installation, and performance.

Her latest practice, “Zitronen, die Geschichten singen” (Lemons that sing stories), is a sculptural and auditory exploration of everyday fruits transformed into poetic vessels and keepers of voice. From her recent methodology—crafting objects that store and play back poems and fragile tales of memory and intimacy—the artist tries to bring the interplay of sound and bodily form back to our reality. The sensuality and whimsy of organic shapes are continuously confronted with feminist inquiries and collaborative situations. She describes her work as a dynamic interplay of material and association, unfolding spaces between absurdity and lightness where everyday elements shift into surreal narratives. Her work is rooted in utilizing food as a connective medium for human experience, merging sculptural precision within the form of collective spaces centered around parenthood, care, and family structures.

Müller-Tiburtius is the co-founder of the artist collective Dream a Team and boasts a rich exhibition record. She has been invited to exhibitions and collaborations at prominent venues, including the Kommunale Galerie Reinickendorf, Kommunale Galerie Bernau, BCMA Berlin, Galerie KungerKiez, Projektraum M, and Flutgraben e.V., alongside receiving prestigious grants from the Berlin Senate Department for Culture.
