About the artist
To realize his concepts, Matthias Wollgast uses various media such as painting, drawing, cameraless photography and film. The dependence of art on its respective context and the constant revaluation of cultural values through their history and reception is a central theme of his works. A single motif can appear in the form of a cameraless photograph, as its reproduction on a postcard, as part of an artist’s book, or as an integral part of an installation.
