For the first time, Sammlung Goetz is presenting a solo exhibition of works by American artist Paul Pfeiffer. The circa 30 selected video and sound installations as well as sculptures and photographs, created between 1998 and the present day, provide comprehensive insights into the artist’s oeuvre. Pfeiffer focuses on mass-media phenomena of our global society, e.g. star cults, spectacular athletic events and film classics. He works exclusively with preexisting images, film and sound sequences. Using digital editing techniques, he manipulates these original images in the widest variety of manners to present them from a completely new perspective. Pfeiffer thus raises questions of identity, reconstruction and our dependence on mass media.
