Daniel Gustav Cramer
-
Daniel Gustav Cramer is an artist whose work notably defines itself through minimalist and radical spatial and visual compositions. Working mainly with installations, which he composes out of a wide range of elements and media, including photography, prints, writing or sculpture, Cramer has developed a significant and coherent body of work similar to an ever-growing archive of fragmented and fragile memories. In recent years, Cramer assembled a collection of brief and epic stories, from the first step on the moon; the sinking of the RMS Titanic; and a street musician playing outside a parking lot in Australia, looking at moments that stand out as markers in history as much as fleeting instances, unnoticed by most. Informed by conceptualism and minimalism, his practice is profoundly shaped by an interest in narrative systems, appealing to the fringes and the unfathomable: details, ellipses, silences, and sequencing. Cramer’s work, in parts and as a whole, can be viewed as an exploration of the possibilities to, in his own words, “suggest a narrative, without actually telling a story”.
