Michael Sailstorfer

Michael Sailstorfer's (b. Velden/ Vils, 1979; lives and works in Berlin) works go far beyond visual perception and speak through sound, vibrations, and even smells that address the viewer's other senses. He removes the most ordinary objects from their original context, dissecting and deforming and then reassembling them, thus creating powerful installations and sculptures: he transforms street lamps into falling stars, makes popcorn in a cement mixer, or
turns a police car into a drum kit.
