Works

Yves Netzhammer: face monitoring snails , installation Altes metro station estate in Vienna (2017)

Netzhammer's earlier works are black and white line drawings that are thematically structured in a similar way to the later video installations. But he also falsified many line drawings in perspective and worked with optical illusions . These also appear in the current film sequences. Yves Netzhammer's most important works include room installations with objects and / or landscape structures and video projections including soundtracks. The videos are computer-calculated, surreal , repeating film sequences. He does not use ray tracing programs, but draws with software that has been developed for the architecture . The surfaces appear smooth and artificial. The stories told are surreal: He combines the pleasant with the unpleasant, the dead with the living, animals and humans, and lets the objects flow into one another or pass from one to the other.

Yves Netzhammer and Christine Streuli represented Switzerland at the 52nd Venice Biennale 2007. He was at the 2015 Kiev Biennale with the room installation The child of the saw is the board , consisting of wall paintings, sculptures and a video triptych with a 30-minute length Loop involved. 2017 he designed for the escalator area of the metro station Old estate in Vienna under the title face monitoring screw a permanent installation with abstract icons that show human and animal portraits. It is made up of four printed areas of around 830 m² in flip-flop finish .
