Philipp Fürhofer

Fürhofer’s works have been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries around the world, most recently in 2017–2018 with a major installation in the rotunda of the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt – (Dis)connect – in which he transformed the circular building into an illusionary space to play with the visitors perception and their notion of reality. His work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Paris, Milan, Sydney, Hong Kong, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Berlin. In 2018, Munich’s Kunsthalle invited him to create, based on his work, the concept and the scenography for the exhibition Du bist Faust that showcased more than one hundred artworks inspired by Goethe’s famous drama.
