Matthias Forster is an adventurous and curious person. He is driven by an inner thirst for life, authenticity and experience. The clarity, originality and playfulness with which he uses light, form and colour characterise his visual language. Rather than following a clear concept, he relies on his intuition. Consequently, he finds concepts, fashion trends, analyses and explanations boring. He prefers to go with the flow, discovering who he is, what he has done, where he wants to go and what that means for the bigger picture as he goes along. In his work, he explores the traces and legacies of humanity, as well as the tension between chaos and order. Through his perceptive observations, he sheds light on everyday things that are often overlooked.
After studying architecture in Basel and Berlin, gaining experience at various well-established architectural firms, and travelling extensively, he completed his photography studies at "MAZ. Institut für Journalismus und Kommunikation in Lucerne" in 2018. Since then, he has worked as a freelance artist, focusing on independent photographic projects.
