Igor Imhoff
IGOR IMHOFF
(Itália - Italy)
IGOR IMHOFF, From 16-bit game developer to digital artist; his video experimentations applied to a passion for all things primitive as well as symbolism and anthropology. His nostalgia of the glitch and strong focus on avant-garde. Igor Imhoff is a man of many dichotomies and his works shine accordingly. From his full debut in the synthetic image of Small White Dots to the archaic figures of his Percorsi (Paths) series. From the cave-like art of Anafora conceived for an interactive installation to the collaboration with the Polo Museale Veneto, where rupestrian paintings are combined with experiments with the pre-cinema of Muybridge and Duchamp. Different sides of the same, all-time human need to represent the world and come to terms with it. And Igor Imhoff is surely no exception.
