Konrad M\u00fche\u2019s (b. Karl-Marx-Stadt, East Germany, 1982; lives and works in Berlin) works interrogate the construction of our identities by uncovering the technological and media apparatuses that sustain it and confronting it with the autonomous lives of objects. Their basic formal principle is the installation hybridizing sculpture and digital moving image, with a particular focus on the projector and the interaction of pedestal or suspension and projection screen. Where the classical black box in the movie theater or exhibition venue seeks to conceal the technical equipment in favor of an immersive visual experience, M\u00fche brings it to the fore and sets it out in the gallery space as sculpture and installation. Yet his works also undercut the conventional display regime in the white cube: the process of projection emerges as the true creative medium and subject. This book acts as a descriptive illustrated Guide<\/em> to M\u00fche\u2019s projects.<\/p>\n Konrad M\u00fche was Hito Steyerl\u2019s master student and trained at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle. His works have been featured at numerous film festivals including the 61st Berlinale and in exhibitions at Kunsthalle D\u00fcsseldorf, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, and elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An Artist\u2019s Book as an \u201cOptical Illusion\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Konrad M\u00fche\u2019s (b.
