Philipp Timischl

Philipp Timischl is a multimedia artist whose sculptures and installations juxtapose elements of pop culture, kitsch, gender performance, and digital media to explore collisions between image culture and identity. His split-screen sculptural works combine painted or printed canvases with television monitors that repurpose still frames and scenes from reality and serial television to create hybrid images. In video works and texts, Timischl repurposes casual conversations and documentation from his private life, though it is often unclear what is staged and what is genuine. With queer sensibilities that upend traditional value systems, Timischl shows how media consumption influences our inner dialogues, perceptions of reality, and relationships to the outside world.
