Gregor Hildebrandt — Alter Spiegel
Gregor Hildebrandt

Alter Spiegel

Gregor Hildebrandt's *Alter Spiegel* ("Old Mirror") presents a hauntingly reflective surface that merges the artist's characteristic use of analog magnetic tape or vinyl records with the visual language of memory and time. The work evokes a sense of accumulated history, as layers of material suggest the passage of sound and experience embedded within its surface. Hildebrandt transforms everyday media into an object of quiet contemplation, where the act of looking becomes intertwined with the act of listening.
