STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOLVE et COAGULA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of transforming my found material is part of my way of living. I am using the genius loci of castles, churches, old houses and abandoned buildings, where I work and live a spartan life. In this isolated environment, in this incubator, I can create works which at the same time are a riddle for the viewer on the left hand and the answer of something occult up to that point for me on the right hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.” (Luke 8:17) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you solve the riddle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Gegner was born on Easter Sunday in 1978 in Vienna, Austria. He currently lives and works in Attersee, Austria. He is an artorcist, daimonograph, and antiquarian bookseller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
