Andreas Fogarasi studierte an der Angewandten
Andreas Fogarasi uses forms
of display that are reminiscent of minimalism and conceptual art to explore questions of space and representation. Being situated
between a documentary and a sculptural practice, his works critically analyse the aesthetisation and economisation of urban
space and the role of architecture and the cultural field in contemporary society. Incorporating video, sculpture and installation
in wide-sweeping discursive webs, Fogarasi confronts the viewer with fault lines in history, image politics and cultural identities.
