Marius Glauer: Wait a Minute

Wait a Minute, Glauer's first institutional exhibition in Austria.

A shell, found on the beach. Splashes of water between it and our gaze. Its age can be read from the surface of the shell, from its grooves.
Past time becomes a phenomenon of the surface.

In the work of Marius Glauer (*1983 Oslo), it is this resonant relationship between surface, materiality and temporality that can be categorised as the artist's central interest. The medium in which the artist works, photography, has always had a particularly complex relationship to the concept of surface.

While in the era of analogue film it was still the light-sensitive place where images were recorded, the contemporary media landscape is characterised by countless new digital surfaces on which images are shown to us and come into contact with one another.
