Gregor Schmoll Orbis Pictus

Gregor Schmoll (b. 1970), the "Monsieur Surrealist" of contemporary Austrian art, combines photography and sculpture into elaborate installations which always are manifestations of his continuing effort to blur the boundaries between reality and imagination by placing apparently everyday things in new absurd or surreal contexts. With his dream-vision-like distortion of the collective image repertoire, Schmoll is able to establish systems of references between different fields of knowledge. At the same time, he points to the fact that our everyday mode of perception is always prestructured by pictures from the collective visual memory, whose contents he reveals to be not only conveyers of specific patterns of values and thought, but also the basis of existing constructions of reality. Presenting all central bodies of work from the past ten years, the exhibition catalog is the most comprehensive of the artist to date.
