Klaus vom Bruch

Klaus vom Bruch explores technology and power in the context of political and historical events in his work. Using images-initially in the form of videotapes during his early creative years, later through video installations and sculptures-he investigates what it means to live in one's own time. Together with Ulrike Rosenbach and Marcel Odenbach, he founded the independent artist-producer group ATV - Alternative Television, which, through Cologne's first pirate TV station, presented an alternative to mainstream television. Through sharp cuts, vom Bruch contrasts and combines self-portraits with documentary and commercial elements to create a heterogeneous video montage.
