In his works, Werner Feiersinger combines his knowledge of the history of art, design and architecture with a laconic, minimalist design vocabulary. The objects appear usable, but deny any function. The multi-layered references and metaphors of Feiersinger's objects apply equally to his photographs and, in their interplay, thematise questions of the sculptural and the plastic. His works subvert conventional ways of seeing and are imbued with a deep irony.
