Comment

Matthias Männer's (born 1976) work tells a story from the world of the inanimate things. A world in which technical machine-like creatures lord it over the living. Männer's installative objects act as models for overdimensional monuments, his mechanical drawings embody the human desire for perfection and his struggle against modern technology.
