COMMUNE

Fragments is an ongoing group show concept separated in individual parts. This exhibition presents Fragment II. The artists are in no direct relation to each other within each Fragment. The artists may present works in more than one Fragment. None of the Fragments shall have their own individual curatorial concept. Fragments will be presented for X amount of times once a year. The final iteration of the concept will summarise all individual Fragments

Wolfgang Guenther’s work explores the intermediate stages of human development, perception and self-reflection within the confines of oppressive spaces. Throughout Guenther’s practice the artist examines this representation and reflection within the concept of portraiture which spans from the formation of asexual forms, definitions of their physical nature, through to the dissolution of their character and human qualities. His work does not involve the subversion or obscuring of a sexualized aesthetic but rather a habitual categorization focusing on qualities such as morphing bodies within empty spaces and the formation of isolated figures. These are solely defined due to their raw physical nature, that invite us to explore the nuances within preconceived assumptions of defining the self within the human image undergoing within a state metamorphosis.
