Eric Hattan

Eric Hattan

Born 1955
Based in Basel

Since the 1980s, Eric Hattan has been questioning everyday objects, urban spaces and architecture, hijacking them with humor and irony. He often uses found objects to create his installations, videos and sculptures. His often ephemeral works rearrange clothes, furniture or screens to reveal the unexpected in the ordinary and challenge habitual perceptions. He is particularly interested in areas undergoing transformation, such as building sites or wastelands, which he explores to extract unexpected sculptural forms.
