Rafik Greiss

For his second solo exhibition at Balice Hertling, The Longest Sleep, Rafik Greiss will present photographs, sculptures as well as a new video installation in the gallery’s basement. Greiss’ practice might be described as atmospheric, provocative, and sensual. His works are formally and technically diverse, produced through both digital and analogue techniques or combinations of the two, but it is his “commitment to sensation rather than theme or medium,” says Mitchell Anderson, that “yields a body of work that is cohesively contingent on the ability to recognize one’s own senses.”
