Ian Waelder
Ian Waelder’s practice explores memory and trace by isolating archival histories and language in relation to his biography, working through the poetics of the accident and the repurposing of the discarded. Waelder’s work unfolds through the mediums of photography, sculpture, sound and installation.
A solo presentation of Waelder's work is set to open at Liste Art Fair, Basel in June 2024.
