Shifted Ground, Guido Winkler

Stille Rijn 9, Leiden, Netherlands

In the window of Stille Rijn 9, Leiden (Public Window 002) Guido Winkler developed the interactieve artwork SHIFTED GROUND commissioned by the Public Window Foundation.

Guido Winkler (Leiden, 1969) is a painter and photographer. He also builds spatial installations which can be associated with architecture.
Winkler investigates and visualizes concepts to do with the perception of space and time and he is fascinated by the way we see reality in the spatial and visual sense. Because Winkler hates trends, he has through the years developed a variety of work with a monumental and graphical approach. Contrasting images which transcend reality have emerged.  Although his work is built on what he sees, it never becomes an illustration of it, but rather a new reality in itself. Amongst other things he also investigates the values of a universal pictural language.
