Gernot Wieland

 

 

 

Through video, and other media made performative, Gernot Wieland (b.1968, Horn, Austria) subtly voices the complexities of living in our secular society. Working with scribbly line drawing, grainy film, and absurd presences, his videos emerge through a process of rag-tag blending. Here, historical accounts, personal memories and speculative imaginings become quasi-absurd narratives; humorous and psychologically pointed.
