Carsten HöllerBorn in Brussels, Belgium, in 1961.He lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden, and Biriwa, Ghana.Works (from left to right):Slide House Project (Central Business District Corner House, Singapore)Slide House Project (River Reflective High Rise, Singapore)Slide House Project (Independence Monument, Accra No. 3/1)Slide House Project (Limete Monument, Kinshasa)Slide House Project (Central Business District Airport Tower House, Singapore)Slide House Project (Cedi House, Accra)Slide House Project (Central Business District High Rise, Singapore)Carsten Höller’s impressive tubular metal sculptures are certainly his best-known body of work. Spectators are invited to take a joyful ride in his corkscrewing slides, which provoke simultaneous sensations of anxiety, freedom, and excitement—responses that are unusual in the traditionalmuseum or gallery setting. Höller is part of a generation of artists who want to reimagine the experience of art. Behind his career as an artist, he has an unusual background, with a doctorate in agricultural science, and specializing in the olfactory communication strategies of insects. As a sculptor and installation artist, Höller creates situations that destabilize the spectator’s sense of control and visual perception. His objective is to enable the spectator to experience the familiar anew. To do so, he creates situations that often remind gallery visitors of the apparatus in a scientific laboratory, inviting them to become the subjects of the experiment. At one point in his career, large sculptural mushrooms became his trademark. Since then, however, he has featured many other elements in his work, such as animals, toys, the double, vehicles, a sensory deprivation pool, eyewear, narcotics, food, and a range of other methods to synchronize or manipulate the moods and emotions of the audience. At the 56th Biennale di Venezia, Höller is represented with a series of new photographic collages that offer an insight into his visionary ideas. These images respond to the architecture of Accra, Ghana, and highlight its utopian qualities. Also exhibited is his Fara Fara, a two-channel video installation, each channel dedicated to one of two rival musicians from Kinshasa’s vibrant music scene. This presentation alludes to a long-standing tradition in Congolese music in which two rival musicians perform simultaneously with their respective bands, each trying to animate and impress the crowd, which can include more than 150,000 people. Fara Fara shows the immense power and beauty of Congolese music while offering insightful observations on the context, history, and political impact of this specific subculture. A highlight of his presentation at the Biennale is RB Ride, a colorful, continuous carousel car ride that has been modified to run so slowly (taking fifteen minutes to complete a full rotation) that its riders can mount and dismount while it is moving.

Konstnärsbiografi

Carsten Höller: Architect of Sensory Experience

Carsten Höller, born December 1961 in Germany, is a visionary artist whose work transcends traditional boundaries, merging art, science, and psychology to create immersive installations that provoke contemplation and challenge perceptions. His distinctive approach—often described as “relational aesthetics”—centers on fostering dialogue between the artwork and its audience, transforming spaces into environments designed to stimulate emotional responses and cognitive processes. Höller’s artistic journey began with studies at Braunschweig Hochschule für Grafik und Druck Gestaltung (hgb), where he honed his skills in graphic design and sculpture before pursuing postgraduate studies at Goldsmiths College London. These formative experiences instilled a fascination for experimentation and a commitment to questioning established conventions, shaping the core of his creative philosophy. Influenced by artists like Marcel Duchamp and Joseph Kosuth—particularly Kosuth’s conceptual explorations of language and representation—Höller adopted a stance that prioritizes process over product, emphasizing the role of chance and materiality in generating artistic outcomes. His breakthrough came with the installation “Test Site” (2006) at Tate Modern in London, a monumental slide traversing the gallery space and inviting visitors to experience gravity in a deliberately unsettling manner. This project cemented Höller’s reputation as a pioneer of immersive art and solidified his belief that art should actively engage the senses—specifically sight and movement—to disrupt habitual ways of perceiving reality. Subsequent works have continued to explore these themes, utilizing materials like polyurethane mushrooms, mirrored surfaces, and darkened rooms to create environments that manipulate light, color, and spatial dimensions. Höller’s artistic output is characterized by a playful blend of Surrealism and Pop Art sensibilities. He employs techniques rooted in sculpture and graphic design, often incorporating unconventional materials—such as polyurethane—to construct fantastical forms that defy conventional aesthetics. His installations are meticulously crafted to elicit visceral reactions from viewers, prompting them to confront their assumptions about space, time, and perception. Through his provocative explorations of these concepts, Höller contributes significantly to the ongoing conversation about the role of art in shaping our understanding of the world. Notable achievements include numerous solo exhibitions internationally—spanning locations like Galerie Eva Kron Berlin, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, and Mori Art Museum Tokyo—and collaborations with architects and designers on ambitious projects that redefine public spaces. His work has garnered critical acclaim for its intellectual rigor and artistic innovation, establishing Höller as one of the most influential figures in contemporary art. He continues to push boundaries, inviting audiences to reconsider their relationship with art and environment alike.
