Glas City

Raymond Gantner dedicates himself to the ambivalent topic of “closeness” and confronts the question “how much society do we need?” In an artistic way. Are we (too) lonely when we only meet a few people? Why are we drawn to crowded beaches in the company of countless other people? Visually, the artist plays with the dissolution of the figures and the scenery and thus creates the ambivalent perception that we have in relation to the society that surrounds us. Right now we are all feeling this turmoil particularly clearly. We actually feed on contacts and at the same time perceive them as exhausting and even questionable. We vacillate between indulging and the longing that a picture of big events like festivals no longer feels uncomfortable.
