Surveying twenty-five years of the multi-disciplinary practice of Paul Pfeiffer, Paul Pfeiffer: Prologue to the Story of the Birth of Freedom will celebrate a pioneering artist known for his incisive work that interrogates ideas of spectacle, belonging and difference. Inspired by televised sporting events and popular entertainment, Pfeiffer’s work deconstructs our fascination and obsession with celebrity culture, unpacking how collective consciousness is shaped and manipulated through his masterful editing of found footage. In tracing the global trajectory of image circulation, Pfeiffer demonstrates how desire, heroism and worship operate as part of the mechanisms of art, religion, politics, and nationhood.
We are pleased to announce that for the exhibition Paul Pfeiffer: Prologue to the Story of the Birth of Freedom, we will loan a selection of works, including Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (07), (2021), Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (30), (2015-2024), Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (35), (2024), and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (32), (2023).
