Born in 1970 in Novi Sad, formerly part of Yugoslavia, now part of Serbia, Nándor Angstenberger studied art from 1992, first in Stuttgart, then at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg under Dietrich Helms and Bogomir Ecker, among others, graduating with honours in 1998. After postgraduate studies in Hamburg, Nándor Angstenberger now lives in Berlin.
“The Stephaneum in Bad Goisern looks like a staged backdrop for a doomsday film. A perfectly arranged disorder, a choreography of objects left behind, at first seemingly incoherent, but each of these objects, however small and insignificant, tells its own story. A search for traces begins, sequences of movement that began in the past, ended abruptly and were never completed, are taken up again by me. The cycle closes and the empty building, which has been reduced to a vacuum of uneventfulness and insignificance over the years, takes on a new function.”
