Gernot Wieland
Wieland's work spans short films, drawings, installations, ceramics and lecture-performances. His narratives are constructed through idiosyncratic and often absurd combinations of images and language, blending autobiographical and fictional elements into poetic, dreamlike spaces. Wieland constructs a deeply emotional and singular world where memories hover between truth and fiction. His first-person narratives weave together the personal with the political and slowly develop into a humourous analysis of social norms and repressive dynamics.
