Turning Construction Debris Into Art

As described by Nicolas Krupp Gallery, Eric Hattan “questions places, architectures and situations of all-day-life through breaking regularities and subversing the assumed stasis of the world with playful irony.” He explores cities and their peripheries, discovering forms that then permeate is installations. In words that seem particularly fitting to his installation during Kunsttage Basel, “The phenomenological exploration of daily processes and random movements leads him often to construction sites,” where he creates temporary projects that are “evidence of an interest in inverting the view on the familiar.” Likewise, the solo installation at Nicolas Krupp's gallery-under-construction lasted just three days — but was thankfully captured for perpetuity by VernissageTV.
