Transform consists of 11 collages on paper, created in 2018. Each work refers to a photograph taken on various construction sites around the world.
In recent collages and montages, Hollerer shows the arms of machines in a variety of positions, he consequentially pursues the (often urban) ‘happening’ of destruction. Composed out of adhesive foil, Hollerer’s ‘machinery collages’ elaborate the photographic observations. The movements of the massive arms of excavator machines, captured with the camera, are turned into idiosyncratic performative compositions when arranged in a series on the gallery wall, from where they radiate and gleam out of the dark background.
