Reto Pulfer

 
Self-taught artist Reto Pulfer (born 1981, Bern, lives and works in Berlin) uses painting, drawing, writing, music, found objects and everyday materials such as textiles, food or spices to create intuitive, and yet complex, synaesthetic environments, “total artworks” that need to be experienced. Often immersive, always site-specific, they embody various mental and conceptual states or Zustände, as the artist calls them.
