Bildstein | Glatz
29.07.2016
16:20–16:55
Philippe Bildstein (1978) and Matthias Glatz (1979) compel the viewer to reflect with their trained visual perception Watching, observing and contemplating should not lead to accepted insights, but should ra-ther question conventions, mechanisms of perception and the appearance of reality. Disassociation, valorisation of the nondescript and minimal interventions in the nature and meaning of things, shifting reality towards triviality. They document their paradoxical experiments, architectural interventions and trivial shifts in photographs and videos in installations on site with objects or sculptures.
