Georg Kuettinger

Interferences 2022

Within the new series, I continue my deliberation on the topic of perception and the realm of opportunities that can be created. The term “Interferences” describes my new works of which consist of a photographic composition and multiple panels comprised of casting resin featuring manually embossed imprints that are mounted in front of it.

Superimposition, permeation and oscillation of different layers lead to visual interferences and prismatic effects. The space that is located between the observer and the actual image serves as a medium that itself becomes part of the image and is modeled and sculpted. Through interferences, my new works manifest the notion of sight as a form of exploring the relation between what can and cannot be seen.

Landscape: Remixed 2014

German based photography artist, Kuettinger’s debut photographic series Landscape: Remixed is an examination of perception, horizons and a density of space and time, assembled to present stories of landscapes. Single photographic images are stretched, shifted and compressed into one picture frame to create the simultaneous image of a scene.

The artist’s intent is to have each single shot of a different point of view be given a new context within the structure of the image – creating, not deceptions, but possibilities of the landscapes they are based on. Concentrating on images of land as a result of human interactions, the concept and terms of Landscapes: Remixed is similar to a song remix by a DJ. The remix is a visual re editing of the rhythm and shape of the motif, as well as the changing of the time tracking the main aspect of a designed landscape to be elaborated as the concept or idea of the structure of the image. This “customized” construction is created analogously to the selective perception of the observer, thus impressing a memory of the landscape as voyage. The resulting impression is neither from a dream perspective nor a viewpoint one can understand and accept as real. Küttinger’s art form then, becomes abstracted panoramas of dynamism and contemplation.

Kuettinger studied architecture with a main focus on conceptual urbanism at the Technical University of Munich. He received his degree as an architect in 1999. Georg has been working as a self-taught photography artist since then. His fascination for photography started when he won his first camera at the age of 9 – in a drawing competition on the subject of woods and snakes. A highlight of his career was being selected from artists across Western Europe to have his work featured in a solo booth as a ‘promising emerging artist’ at KIAF art fair Seoul 2008.

Küttinger has shown in a wealth of solo and group exhibitions, as well as being represented at art fairs in Europe, Asia and Canada. The Kostuik Gallery has been representing Georg since 2015.
