Whenever the artist Clemens Hollerer leaves his house, his camera is always with him. He uses it as his sketchbook. By now he disposes of his own archive of photographs serving as sources for his works. Frequently he takes pictures of construction sites. Construction sites are places of transformation and photos are snapshots, freezing a moment in time when everything around stays in movement.
In his works Clemens Hollerer transfers the captured moments into new spaces and locations. In doing so he is not copying but rather reinterpreting and recreating within new surroundings. References to spaces, structures, surfaces, colors, to the simplicity of objects, as well as to construction and disassembly as expression of change distinguish his works. Predominantly, he uses wood as material because it is human, has life of its own; it is not perfect and at the same time strong and fragile. Because his works are often designed for the specific location where they are shown, in the majority of cases they are disassembled at the end of the exhibition. Assembly and disassembly are part of the construction site and part of his art. Only few works remain, often they are photos recording the works of art, in a moment of time. (wh/ca)
