Benjamin Bronni »Striptease«
In his works, which are always presented in installative contexts, Benjamin Bronni explores the concept of space through his drawings, paintings, and sculptural objects. His precisely constructed images acquire theatrical qualities through color-reduced, stacked geometric formations, transforming them into abstract spatial realms. Conversely, the pictorial space seems to expand into the real space when Bronni transfers the sharp-edged geometric objects from his abstract visual worlds into the exhibition space. There, they take on a disquieting, elusive presence as oversized and seemingly unstable constructions that alter the parameters of spatiality depending on the viewer's angle and perspective.

Despite—or perhaps because of—their almost mathematical precision, Bronni's backdrop-like installations and images appear as entirely unreal spaces, where the absence of human presence seems to stage the uncanny that resides within abstract geometric worlds.
