Walter Niedermayr

Walter Niedermayr was born in 1952 in Bolzano, Italy where he currently lives and works.

Since 1985 Walter Niedermayr has been developing projects where he investigated the space as a reality occupied and shaped by man, questioning the ephemerical realms between representation and imagination. Total structures such as prisons and hospitals and their everyday regulations as well as standardised daily routines are subjects of his observation. This can be seen in the series of works Alpine Landschaften (Alpine Landscapes) started 1987, Raumfolgen (Space Con / Sequences) started 1991, Rohbauten (Shell Constructions) started 1997, Artefakte (Artifacts) started 1992, Bildraum (Image-Space) since 2001. The last one focusses on architecture in a way that uncovers space and ambience.
