Biography

Peter Welz is an important representative of installation and video art. His artistic works are known on the one hand for their kinetic, sculptural and experimental arrangements, while on the other hand the minimal cinematic plays a central role. In addition to questions about the status of the image, the sculptural and the relationship between image and space, aspects of the figurative in particular have recently characterized his work. Welz’s artistic work also reflects his engagement with Samuel Beckett. He also became known for the immersive video installations created in close collaboration with the choreographer William Forsythe.

Works by Peter Welz can be found in the Goetz Collection, the Falckenberg Collection, the collection of the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt am Main and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, among others.
