About Matthias Forster

Matthias Forster is interested in experimenting and moving between the different fields of photography and fine art. His visual language is characterised by clarity, originality and playfulness in the use of light, form and colour. As a curious person, he does not follow a clear concept, but rather his intuition. In his work he is particularly interested in the traces and legacies of mankind and the tension between chaos and order. With his keen observa- tions, he visualises the everyday that is often overlooked.

After studying architecture, many years of experience in an established architecture firm and various travels, he completed his photography studies at the MAZ. Institut für Journalismus und Kommunikation in Lucerne in 2018 and has since been working as a freelance artist with a focus on independent photographic projects.
