In his conceptual photographs and installation works, Ulrich Gebert addresses the culturally shaped relationship of man to nature and his environment. His installations, as well as the photographs arranged in series and wall tableaus, are not to be conceived as a romantic motif of reunion between man and nature – rather, they testify to a critical and humorous examination.
Gebert’s works revolve around concepts such as order, categorisation, hierarchy, functionalisation, and instrumentalisation, exposing the gestures of violent appropriation and control inherent in the techniques of order and cultivation.
In his most recent body of work, Eigenface, Ulrich Gebert explores a fairly new visual phenomenon that can certainly be viewed critically: facial recognition.
Originally used to be reserved for the privilege of intelligence service practices, facial recognition systems are increasingly determining our private/public as well as digital/analog spheres due to the ubiquitous spread of digital devices.
