Markus Wilfling
Markus Wilfling (* 1966 in Innsbruck ) is an Austrian artist.
Career

Artistic work
Shadows , mirrors and sculptures . Shadow objects like that of the Graz clock tower originate from the idea, translated into several objects, of using three-dimensional shadows to achieve an illusionistic spatial interpretation. Fire extinguishers, clothes racks and more are designed as objects and shadow objects. Another theme is mirrors and mirror objects such as the chicken mirror object from 2004 or the walk-in mirror cabinet in 2007 in the Kunsthalle Krems . Sinking objects such as park benches or bathtubs are another important field of activity.
