Johannes Vogl
He constructs rather idiosyncratic sculptures and machines from everyday objects. The artist, describes himself as a poetic inventor rather than a traditional sculptor, and finds inspiration for his sculptures, installations and videos mostly in everyday situations. The objects and devices do not serve people or fulfil meaningful tasks anymore, but exist in endless loops and monotonous self-dialogue. His works act as mechanical outsiders, as oddities. The relationship between human and sculpture, subject and object, observer and observed shifts in favor of the world of objects.
Johannes Vogl is in residence at the Tarabya Cultural Academy from February to May 2026.
