Florian Auer
Florian Auer (b. 1984, lives and works in Berlin) explores the constructed nature of reality, testing the limits of what can be simulated. His work is equally concerned with technology, spirituality and materiality, which he combines through processes such as 3D modeling and crafting.

Florian Auer⎪[Ray::reTrace]
September 8th - October 28th 2023
Since the beginning of industrialization, nothing has changed our lives more radically than the digital revolution. In his work, Florian Auer (b. 1984, lives and works in Berlin) draws a central axis between these two radical "social upheavals" of the 19th and 21st centuries. In his work, he examines the influence of mechanisation, automation and digitization on our individual everyday lives. In the exhibition [Ray::reTrace] he shows three-dimensional, computer-generated folds, based on scenes from Adolph Menzel's (1815-1905) famous painting "Eisenwalzwerk" (1872-1875).
