Carsten Holler was born in Brussels in 1961 and now
resides in Stockholm. He sees art as a cognitive instrument and uses his
works to transform our senory and emotional experience. He loves to provoke
viewers by distorting their habitual mechanisms of perception--thus the
room full of giant upside-down mushrooms, which he dscribes as a "generator
of rapture and delight."
Holler has taken part in all the major international art exhibitions and
ha
s produced collaborative works with other contemporary artists, including
Maurizio Cattelan and Rosemarie Trockel.
