Haus am Waldsee presents the first comprehensive institutional solo exhibition of artist Peter Wächtler in Berlin. Wächtler (b. 1979 in Hanover, lives and works in Schleswig-Holstein) develops his works beyond fixed notions of art or classification. He writes, films, draws, paints, builds sculptures and film sets to transform familiar genres and narrative styles into a fragile balance of nostalgia, tragedy and absurd humour. Over the course of two decades, Wächtler has developed his own formal language that uses the supposed comfort of the past to weave together contemporary contradictions of self-determination and self-abandonment. With its laconic title Ständig, the exhibition brings together existing and new works, most notably a new film of the same name.
