VIDEO SCULPTURES

MARCK, born in Zurich in 1964, is internationally known for his fusion of sculpture and video. MARCK’s video sculptures are multi-sensory art objects that can be received, are information carriers and emotion mediators with versatile, high aesthetic standards. The designation “sculpture” is a reference to the three-dimensionality, to the material character of the objects and their creation by hand. The relationship between work and frame is rearranged in the video sculptures.

A particular focus of his art is the thematization of human thought patterns. MARCK examines externally imposed as well as self-imposed boundaries and forces a reflection on our own views of social limitation and restriction, especially of the female gender role. MARCK sees his sculptures as excerpts from our mental cinema and leaves the completion of the narrative to each individual viewer themselves.

The work Pandoras Box (2007) helped him to international fame as a video artist: it shows a caged naked woman and at the same time embodies MARCK’s central theme – depersonalized women in boxes. MARCK’s oeuvre describes feelings of claustrophobia and confinement; situations from which one would like to break out are deliberately chosen and, equally through craftsmanship excellence and technical innovation, always presented on two levels: Filmed and sculptural merge, at the same time blurring the boundaries between installation and sculpture.

His works have been acquired by numerous renowned institutions such as the ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, DE, the Grande Finale Museum, FR, the Dosan Artcenter, Korea, or the Artcenter Istanbul, Turkey, and are highly sought after among private collectors. Since 2007, MARCK has been shown internationally in more than 200 solo and group exhibitions.
