Olaf Breuning

Video by BAL Productions, produced by Monica Salazar, filmed by Peter Cairns, edited by Dylan Gephart // Jan. 9, 2018

Swiss artist Olaf Breuning spent 16 years developing his practice in New York City before moving Upstate to find a measure of solitude in his work environment. Functioning as both an archive of past work and a place for new creative explorations, the former two-car garage that houses Breuning’s studio provides a haven for contemplation.

We visited his studio to talk about the works of photography, drawing, sculpture, and film that connect in a distinct visual language over the span of his career and how he sees his artistic process evolving over the last decades.
