Nikolaus Gansterer is an artist living and working in Vienna, Austria.

This Long Minute is an excerpt from Gansterer’s ‘Untertagueberbau’. The original work stages a three channel video installation which combines elements of animated film, cartoon films, live drawings, performance, and studio work.

This excerpt gives a strong sense of Gansterer’s ongoing research into performative live drawing, animation video practice and his attempts to find yet a new language for these subtle and somatic thought processes. This particular sequence is based on a sentence by philosopher & biologist Francisco Varelea as it addresses the entanglement between self - world - organisms.

In the artist’s words: ‘Since the pandemic I feel the immanent fabric between matter, life, time and mind has becomes even more tangible than before”
