peter regli

RH - Nr. 234, 2005

Peter Regli's work has developed mainly through "performances", in a very broad sense. The actions or situations he created are often disconcerting : a concert of boat sirens, words created by letters painted on cows depending on their movements, or unlikely observatories located in vacant lots. As his projects are usually intended for public spaces, some of them could not be carried out. His website www.realityhacking.com lists all his projects, exisiting or not. Currently, he is moving to sculpture, to which he applies his sense for visual impact and surprise effect.
