Wiebke Siem (1954 Kiel, DE - Berlin, DE) became known in the 1990s for extensive installations in which she alienated everyday objects, such as pieces of clothing, shoes, bags, or toys, or transformed them into oversized objects.

In addition to borrowing motifs from art and cultural history, Siem critically engages the mechanisms of the male-dominated art business - a central theme in her oeuvre.
