Was Du Liebst, Bringt Dich Auch Zum Weinen

Tobias Rehberger

Tobias Rehberger stands out as an artist who questions the dynamic nature of perception and focuses on themes of transformation and discontinuity. His works transcend traditional classifications of art, blurring the interdisciplinary boundaries between architecture, design, and sculpture. Rehberger frequently employs techniques such as “dazzle camouflage” in his works, disrupting the shapes and boundaries of objects with optical illusions. This technique references camouflage designs used during World War I to visually deceive ships and invites the viewer to explore the illusions in spatial and object perception. His approach emphasizes that the art object is not only an aesthetic experience but also a perceptual one.
