Andreas Horlitz: Equilibrium

Best known for his large-scale installations made of mirror and glass, Munich-based artist Andreas Horlitz has also incorporated photography, light works, and site-specific architectural installations into his practice over an impressive three-decade career. Taking his inspiration from the sciences—and creative exchanges with scientists—Horlitz’s work frequently mimics chemical, biological, and physical processes. Foremost among these scientifically sourced works are hisAutoportraitsseries of eight biometric images that incorporate his own DNA, and the eight-hundred-foot mirrored glass installation,Interdependence, which symbolizes information transfer, multiple horizons, and velocity waves.
