Conceptual mixed media approaches, involving painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, design, and typography, guide the work of Austrian artist Lorenz Estermann. The focus of his series of works are collage-like works on paper, three-dimensional architectural models, and installations, derived with a sense of ironic distance from actual pieces of architecture from the 1960s and 1970s. Estermann finds his motifs and themes while engaged in his photographic research projects, which the artist carries out in the suburbs, industrial zones, and other locations in Central and Eastern Europe, where many different styles of architecture and construction exist side by side. His works are both serious and humorous critiques and analyses of the great modern utopias, yet they also relate to Pop Art and its exploration of mass consumption and everyday phenomena.
