Constantin Dichtl+
Originally trained as a designer, Constantin Dichtl (Ulm, Germany 1991) finds himself in the role of an observer and maker in search of understanding the worlds and processes around him as well as the disrupted relationship between humans and their environment.
Constantin Dichtl’s (Ulm, Germany, 1991) installation Mushroom Dreams consists of sculptures that look like odd organs springing up like corals on the coast of the deep sea. Similar to some kind of virus, they parasite the existing architecture, transforming it into a dreamscape with peculiar reality. The systematic build-up refers to the man-made environment. These hybrid objects continuously oscillate between the “natural” and “artificial”. The sculptures are accompanied by a video depicting a movement through living spaces, consisting of ghostly traces and uncanny encounters both with human and non-human objects. A heartbeat indicates the presence of time.
