Gian Kägi *1995, Luzern
Aufgewachsen zwischen Agglomeration, Bauernhof und Verkehrsknotenpunkt bewegt sich Gian Kaegi (er/ihm) am liebsten in Zwischenräumen. Aus genormten Alltagsdingen formt er skurrile Versuchsanordnungen und eigensinnige Installationen. Zufällige Passformen werden zu choreografierten Begegnungen. Alles dreht sich um Bewegung: Als kreisendes System, als fast musikalischer Rhythmus, als Gegenpol zur Stille. Gians Werke verhandeln Ordnung und Zufall, Wiederholung und Abweichung. Sie erinnern an das Verweilen in Transiträumen. Begegnungen ohne Anfang und Ende, doch voller Möglichkeiten.
Growing up between suburbia, a farm, and a transport hub, Gian Kaegi (he/him) feels most at ease in the in-between. From standardised everyday objects, he fashions whimsical experiments and singular installations where chance alignments unfold into choreographed encounters. At the heart of his practice lies movement: as a circling system, an almost musical rhythm, a counterpoint to stillness. Gian’s works negotiate order and coincidence, repetition and variation. They evoke the act of lingering in spaces of transit. Encounters without beginning or end, yet charged with possibility.
