Description
Book SynopsisThe oeuvre of the Austrian artist Alfredo Barsuglia is as multifaceted as contemporary art itself. He fits into no category and yet a golden thread runs through his creative work, linking together the various media and examining subjects such as reality and fiction, the private and the public, and ecology and economy in a sophisticated manner. For Alfredo Barsuglia, who lives in Vienna, art and communication lie very close together. Many of his works can be interpreted on various levels, thereby prompting discussion. The artist borrows from the principle of the mise en scène, in which the main emphasis lies on the creation of an illusion of reality. Barsuglia's scenic tales and artificial settings invite a wealth of interpretations which also reveal to viewers their own role in the set.
