Beat Zoderer

Beat Zoderer (1955, CH) predominantly uses everyday materials as a basis for his work. Inconspicuous everyday objects and materials from the DIY market are the components from which Zoderer combines his filigree works. PVC, building boards, rubber bands, or metal strips merge into radical optical structures, which can be surprising by their ease. Zoderer makes use of the materials within what at first appears to be methodical structures based on repetition or mathematical systems. However this is a deception, as each piece allows for an arbitrary element. The play with the questioning of the visual conventions makes his art surprising and winning.
