Axel Loytved
Researcher Fine Art
01.01.10 – 31.12.11
Everyday actions, materials and situations are initial starting points for my research. In a close dialogue with the collected, found and acquired sources I then continue processing. Quite often, I use conventional artistic media in my practice – just as I also use other techniques, which are easy and immediately available. The moment where the basic material loses its original meaning and becomes independent is a central point in my work. Following the internal logic of the production, I use the generated forms as a vocabulary. Variable assignments and ways of displaying can be found, dedicated to context and space.
