Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

I encounter many subjects in my everyday activities that have their own space in my life.

Objects, people or animals. I always try to interact with those subjects in my social surroundings. Sometimes questions arise from that connection, sometimes they just highlight social phenomena’s to me. Those day to day experiences in my life have become of the source for my work.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

Having grown up in vernacular culture associates a trial of moving through and adopting from many contrasting conditions. Practically, to end on sketchy guesses that represent what’s pure vernacular, or wherever in between, is nearly absurd. There is a as multifold fashion of substance as there are people. So I notch to linear dimensions, and the multiple approaches of witnessing an article/object, as an action to get above the surface of paraphernalia/things. to form an image of what was there. In this way, work is one and the other testimony and manipulation at the same generation. Making an image of an image of an image, the work I do ends up appearing in so many ways: real, not real, look-alike. When spectators recognize that there’s a distortion involved, they take a longer look than usual. The work I’m making represents my experiences.
