Andy Hermann born and raised in Athens, Greece; lives and works in Zürich, Switzerland.
Hermann’s work explores themes of identity, migration, and social mobility, often challenging the boundaries between private and public spheres. His installations, paintings, and videos fuse banal, everyday objects with conceptual depth, transforming the ordinary into vehicles for exploring broader cultural and political issues. By recontextualizing familiar materials, he imbues them with deeper significance that reflects the complex dynamics of contemporary society.
