Fabian Gatermann: Transcendence/ Transzendenz

Artist Fabian Gatermann uses light as the key material for his installations, objects, and multiples. He disengages from the classic scientific engineering system of testing; his works are unconventional experiments. Text in English and German.

If we understand “transcendence” as a multidimensional experience, can light as a medium grant us access to invisible realms? The artist Fabian Gaterman uses light as the key material for his installations, objects, and multiples in order to investigate new dimensions. Over the course of his work, Gatermann disengages himself from the classic scientific engineering system of testing; instead his works can be seen as open-ended unconventional experiments. During this creative process, light oscillates between amorphous and crystalline states, taking the viewer on a transcendental voyage of discovery. The central reference throughout remains the human being: the works provoke active participation and invite the viewer to become part of a multi-perspective game of light and space.
