BIO & STEPS
Born:

Lives and works in New York
Studies:
1988–1994 Art Academy Munich
1994–1995 DAAD scholarship for the USA
Themes and
style:
Eggerer's
enlarged and flattened-out spaces signal new complexities that arise in his
narratives. The figures that populate these works are busy, yet they labor at
tasks that remain rather mysterious. They are neither joyous nor tragic in
effect, but are absorbed in their actions – as performative agents in
landscapes with no clear-cut horizon lines, an ambivalent opacity allows
questions to emerge about the indistinct boundary between both labor and
leisure, and subject and object.
Techniques:
His work is developed in instalations,
paintings and prints.
