Artwork Material: Pastel Chalk

Martin Egger intervenes and changes image material. Visiting the Ortweinschule Graz for Masterclasses in painting and sculpting, working as bike messenger, tattoo artist, shepherd and in homeless assistance- the inclusion, remixing and reacting of the already existing became inevitable. He surfs between glitch art and film stills. Spaces infested with spaces, inorganic forms colonize the body, the concrete becomes abstract and thus alive. Analogue and digital are often combined, unusual and humorous narratives open up. Colors and forms morph, flow over the edges, begin to vibrate, perspectives are shifting.
