Thomas Eggerer’s collages highlight his appreciation for the “breathtaking treasures” visual archives hold, from intimate locker room moments to sunbathers in sports arenas. The works transform these ordinary scenes into complex compositions that resist immediate consumption. They often feature a “stuttering” effect, as described by David Joselit, where similar actions or groups appear from different angles or moments in time, creating a cinematic layering that compresses successive images into a single, simultaneous visual experience.

In 2025, Matt Mullican will present an innovative solo exhibition at a new museum in the metaverse, connected to the Ringier Collection. Spanning over 2,000 square meters of virtual space, this survey showcases over 50 years of Mullican's work, featuring more than a thousand artworks, including video installations.
