Alphorn or Under the Surface, provides an insight into human-nature relationships from the transformation of landscapes to the duality of
cleanliness and dirt. The authenticity of the natural environment is often hidden under artificial surfaces. Stagings of cleanliness and order influence our perception and our wellbeing. Through sculptures and videos Matthias Sanoll wants to give a different perspective on these complex paradoxes. -> As part of the exhibition Hüllen, in June 2024 at the Museumsquartier Vienna, it explores the inter face between consumption-driven digitization and perceptions of industrially and culturally induced orders. It brings together the projects DiscForce by Isidor Forster and Under the Surface by Matthias Sanoll. ->Both artists aim to break through the covers of our modern world and discover the underlying layers through their work. Through omnipresent symbols of consumer society, feats of nature, and depictions of cleanliness, human actions and the separation of technologies, progress, and greed are questioned.
