Marc Allgaier | Collage, Installation

Marc Allgaier is a multidisciplinary artist based in Stuttgart, Germany, whose work is defined by its versatility and conceptual depth. With a background in communication design, Marc's artistic practice spans collage, painting, photography, video, set design, and music. His creations delve into themes of technology, society, and the environment, combining a unique blend of critical humor and conceptual rigor.

Marc's innovative approach to Raumcollage stands out within his body of work. These immersive installations explore the concept of "Wirklichkeit"—a term encompassing both perception and effect. In pieces like Berg- und Talfahrt, Marc crafts layered landscapes using corrugated cardboard and photographic elements, inviting viewers to physically and emotionally immerse themselves in his abstract yet familiar environments. These works challenge the boundaries between the tangible and the imagined, offering new perspectives on resilience, transformation, and environmental fragility.

Marc's Neue Technik series brings together analog and digital techniques to reflect on themes like technological dependence, identity, and consumer culture. Fragmented compositions capture the fleeting nature of modern societies while emphasizing the layered complexity of human memory.

Marc has exhibited his work internationally in galleries, museums, and publications, receiving acclaim for his innovative use of materials and thought-provoking narratives. One of his Raumcollages was described by a leading art critic as forward-thinking, underscoring its ability to open up new perspectives on societal and ecological challenges.
