Andi Shmied

My work explores the underlying psychological patterns of urban landscapes through image-based installations and site-specific documentation.



I visit places that for one reason or other do not enter conventional urban logic - yet they are part of our cityscapes. These vary from urban areas that went far from their original function, to sparsely inhabited (but not abandoned) cities or utopian architectures. I start my work with exploration to produce documentation that later becomes the raw material for my interventions and final images.
