New York-based Austrian artist Kurt Hentschläger creates audiovisual installations and performances. Between 1992 and 2003 he worked collaboratively within the artist duo Granular-Synthesis. Hentschläger’s works have characteristically been visceral and immersive, as in his ongoing series of phenomenological environments including ZEE and FEED, with extreme perceptual effects, composed from light, sound and fog. These works physiologically affect the viewer's experience. Most recently he premiered SOL, the third work in this series, an immersive audiovisual installation at Halle Berghain in Berlin in January 2017. The installation builds on loss of control, shifts in awareness and a feeling of dislocation and timelessness.
