Alexander Gutke

About

Engaging issues of self-reflexivity, illusionism, narrative and cinema, the work of Alexander Gutke is marked by a mystical materialism. Through analytically investigating the composition of devices such as cameras and slide projectors, he valorizes their unseen mechanisms as fertile spaces for the imagination. For his first solo exhibition in Berlin at Galerija Gregor Podnar Alexander Gutke exhibits four new and recent works, all of which thematically explore space, light and the void. These themes intersect to suggest a transcendental experience of seeing, like allegories of looking, in which so much is suggested with so little.
