Work

Michael Post investigates the phenomena of perception in his objects:"My own wall objects visualize the interactions between related surfaces; they are based on precise geometric structures.". [1] He uses steel sheets, which are painted either on both sides or on one side with acrylic paint. They are attached to the wall by means of a magnetic device, so that they protrude out of the wall as a wall relief. The perspective and perception of the artwork changes depending on the viewing angle and the lighting conditions. These interactions are intended: "Due to internal surface structures, an overall form is created that differs from the classic image formats and enters into a dialogue with the wall surface on which it is placed." [2]
