Sebastian Biskup

Biskup is concerned with formal-generative processes that independently translate appropriated material into an abstracted form. He finds his material in commercial advertising productions as well as within high culture. He makes no judgmental distinction in the selection of material, as he is concerned with the way it is seen or overlooked. His concern is not to add any independent "new" original visual worlds to the canon of overflowing cultural production, but rather to trace existing and in part very well-known material back to its core idea via a process of formal reduction. To make the compositional core idea visible means to work out the visual habits of the viewers as well as those of the authors of his materials.
