Conceptual artist Jan Pfeiffer from Prague, Czech Republic is my guest today. We discussed dyslexia, Waldorf schools, terminal degrees, the color ‘Black’, family obligations, deadlines, aesthetics, social games, sushi, and quality vs quantity.
About
Jan Pfeiffer moves confidently across different media; he enjoys video, photography, animation and drawing. At Pfeiffer, analytical puzzlement over historical, political or socio-cultural phenomena meets sincere fascination with mythological and religious symbolism. However, the author does not choose the material for processing according to its relevance in the historiographic discourse. What he is primarily interested in is sometimes the almost imperceptible mechanisms and connotations that create or surround historical or social moments. Or, conversely, it explores the mechanisms and connotations as a result of the initiating, triggering moment at which historical or social movement occurs. The language in which Pfeiffer interprets the eclectic stories of his own reasoning is abstract and often peculiarly symbolic. However, it is always based on the human scale.
