WIEDEMANN/METTLER
b. 2001, SwitzerlandWorking together since 2002, the artist couple Wiedemann/Mettler references the world from a position with a dual focal point. That is to say Daniel Mettler’s (b. 1965, Switzerland) staged photographs provide Pascale Wiedemann (b. 1966, Switzerland) with an associative liaison that leads her to creating works of almost physical emotionality.
Their installations and architectural art are guided by the particular division between emotion and rationality, spatial interest and an almost physical intimacy. The procedural aspect of Wiedemann/Mettler’s artistic practice is directed by their reacting to and interacting with the works of the other—a symbiotically charged process which in an uncommon way evokes closeness and poses questions that center around materials, structures, and the shells of intimacy.
Across media and structures their individual works are always a reference to themselves and its pendant. With the confrontation of different media like photography, sculpture, painting, and installation they create a doubled point of view which is indicative for their practice that draws the viewer into their actions and way of thinking.
