Peter Aerschmann's video installations function as mental worlds, places of disconcerting virtual reconstructions that stage elements directly drawn from reality. Isolated and removed from any meaningful context, they evolve in a neutral, linear space-time, leaving viewers the key to a possible narrative.
Selecting motifs from everyday life, which he previously photographed or filmed, over the years the Swiss video artist has built up a visual archive, a repertoire of forms from which he composes and gives free rein to his imagination.
Aerschmann’s work Eyes, which is in the Pinault Collection, was seen during the 2012 exhibition on the moving image, “Parole des Images” (“Word of Images”), at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice.
