Paul Kolling
About the Artist
Paul Kolling is an artist based in Berlin, and a founding member of terra0. His solo practice examines the social and spatial politics of infrastructure. In his work, Kolling conjures new perspectives and ways of reading the visual field, cultivating questions about the very nature of mediated perception. Often fusing analog and digital technologies, he works across film, video, installation, and sculpture to explore how particular perspectives and realms of possibility are foregrounded or obscured through the functioning of complex infrastructure. What is made visible via the ways of seeing afforded by new — or old — technology? What imaginaries are made real through depictions of the world? These considerations touch on both natural and man-made environments, emphasizing the ways in which perception, recording, and classification are sites where the struggle of power and agency can unfold.
Kolling’s work have been presented at the 58th Carnegie International; the 17th International Architecture Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia; Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal; The Shed New, York City; Kunstverein Hamburg; Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof; Weltmuseum Wien; Kunsthalle Zürich; Francisco Carolinum, Linz; Chronus Art Center, Shanghai; Furtherfield Gallery, London; and Schinkel Pavillon Berlin among others.
