New media artist from Switzerland. 1986-92 Academy of Fine Arts, Dusseldorf. www.thyes.com
Intro: My themes and visual researches deal with powerful symbols, myths and signs from architecture, society, politics, movies and religions. My artworks are explorations of their meanings, a questioning, reevaluation, and creations of new associations. Using video, animation, collage, abstraction, and found footage, well-known figures undergo transformations, start to communicate and build new relations. Symbols of identities turn into elements of dialogues.
