ANDRÉ SCHÄFFER

André Schäffer is a photographer and multimedia artist, who integrates sculpture and digital image manipulation. The majority of his serial works has come of connecting with the subconsciousness, from a state of a waking dream. They are spontaneous inspirations and images that evolved during the actual process of creation. The artist calls it subconsciousness processing. They are inner pictures and thoughts expressed through imagery. André Schäffer’s works give the viewer a different perspective of the future. His confrontation with the process of transition makes the hidden visible and point also to beauty the artificial. Environmental changes, geopolitical tensions, finite resources are creating a rethinking and restructuring of the status quo. The global system is shaking and with it our place on this planet. Man was never at the center; it was only our imagination of it.
