as a post-conceptual media artist, robin lütolf explores social patterns of behaviour and translates his findings into visual and/or auditory formats. lütolf tells the stories of seemingly trivial objects and subjects in a subtle way. he realisees situational projects and considers the presentation space as a public field of experimentation. In doing so, his works usually show a certain dependence on the audience and/or involve it.
in 2021, together with joëlle bischof, lütolf founded the transdisciplinary project eisenbricht, which deals with the relationship between artwork, presentation form and audience, as well as the mutual influence of art and science.
