Timo Fahler draws on the rich tradition of stained glass, rooted in ancient Egypt and Rome, and its evolution within Western Christianity. His multimedia practice incorporates elements from Mesoamerican cultures, historical symbols, and themes from older European churches. Fahler perceives stained glass as a medium for storytelling that encapsulates current realities and the questioning of existence, especially in the face of advancing technology. His recent works, which feature barriers and colorful shadows, urge viewers to contemplate the implications of restrictions on knowledge and freedoms, while also conveying his personal heritage and experiences.
Fahler’s work is a storytelling medium, blending experiences, studies, and beliefs to reflect on the unique era of questioning reality inherent to contemporary life.
In my latest works, I’ve used barriers on stained glass to explore the implications of society's restrictions on freedoms and knowledge, inviting viewers to reflect.
