Marc Aschenbrenner, born in Linz (Austria) in 1971, studied painting and multimedia at the local art college with a focus on painting
Video art. His work has included works in Berlin, Bonn, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Innsbruck, Cologne, Copenhagen, London, Lucerne, Münster, Poznan and
To see Vienna. The artist lives and works in Berlin.

His process-based works often start with sketches and use heterogeneous material that does not shy away from unusual cases. Mostly as his own protagonist, Aschenbrenner acts in timeless, meaningless spaces in which he creates an unmistakable aesthetic and uses performance to create his individual cosmos, which allows questions of origin and task in the sense of existentialism in terms of content.

Figur im Wald, 2012 HD 5+2a.p

In the depiction, man becomes a figure.

It is the interpretation of man and his perception of the environment. The figures resist reality and create their environment according to the situation.

They live in a state of absolute presence. They live in a state of stagnation. They become the picture.

The figures become clothes and get a subjective individuality.

The environment that is often themed as dwelling is the deepest individualistic expression of the figure.

The home as the strongest personal expression of man as an individual.

A place of the perfect ego.

Man perishes without people.

It is an absurd thing. Man as egoist in the collective.

The central theme is the human figure in the room.

Man and his being, his surroundings and his habitation.

The figure and the elements - the knowledge to be part of the structure.

The rejection of one's own society. States of consciousness and

and their change morphologically. Birth, existence, death.

The films / actions have a kind of action that can also be metamorphosis, absurdity or nothing.

The works are processual and in the true sense, have no beginning or end.
