Wolfgang Ganter’s artworks present ever-new correspondences between idea, reality, and illusion. The artist thematically deals in the compulsion to engage with – and work through – processes of decay, in an effort to see source materials in new ways. Capturing moments and sculptural artifacts as visionary as they are apocalyptic, as filled with beauty as they are horror, Ganter makes work that functions to carry history through the act of rewriting. Aided by intentionally controlled processes, the artists films and installations are the relics of unknown biographies.
Wolfgang Ganter lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
