Robert F. Hammerstiel's "Waste Land", C-Prints on acrylic paper (2011)

Born in 1957 in Pottschach, Austria Robert F. Hammerstiel lives and works in Vienna.

"In his photographic and video works Hammerstile shows with substitute worlds that are created to compensate human unfulfilled desires. In the online computer game "Second Life" Real Life is a series of simulated landscapes created by users. The photo series Wasteland shows artificially constructed landscapes built through computation: landscape and architectural blocks flying through space" (Robert F. Hammerstiel)
