Manuel Burgener is concerned with the exhibition space and how his works relate to one another. The unique photogram works become sculptures through their display; hanging on the wall and furthered by the fact that the glass is indented on one side and almost coming out on the other, thus creating a double perspective. The disturbance of this effect is expanded by the reflections of the lights and the viewer within the glass, almost endlessly.

Manuel Burgener (b. 1978, Switzerland) lives in Bern, Switzerland. His work is marked by a subversive manipulation of the viewers’ perception. Burgener’s intricate craftsmanship of material and form allows an ironic distortion of expectation, often renegotiating perceived limits between art and design and pro-cess and result. His latest solo shows were held at Secret Space, Biel; Salon des Amateurs, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf; Espace d'Art Contemporain, Porrentruy and at Bernheim, Zurich.
