MARCEL HILLER (*1982, Potsdam) studied Fine and Visual Arts at the Kunstakademie Münster, the Haute École d’Art et de Design in Geneva, and postgraduate studies at the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht and the Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen in Innsbruck. His biography corresponds to the sociological attribution of the “Wendekinder”. His origins, which he himself perceived as a flaw, were expressed through the consistent avoidance of any biographical references. Many of his installations were determined by meaning-laden materials and found objects without ever becoming explicitly legible as objects or signs. Their atmospheres generated as interiors of an ego-less, giving shape to the spaces of his exhibitions and their specific zero point. Now he writes: “In the meantime, the institutions of my public have become rather the spatial and temporal background of a reconstruction of my own, as useful as, say, the rubber lip of a windshield wiper.” He has received various prizes and been awarded grants for his artistic work.
