About the Artist

Paul Pfeiffer is a highly acclaimed American artist whose technologically sophisticated practice spans video installations, sculpture, and photography. He is renowned for his meticulous manipulation of pre-existing media, particularly iconic sports footage and celebrity imagery. Pfeiffer's work profoundly explores themes of spectacle, mass consumption, and the pervasive influence of media in shaping our perceptions of reality. By digitally isolating, altering, or removing key elements from familiar scenes, he reveals underlying power structures, obsessions, and the manufactured nature of heroism in contemporary culture, inviting a critical examination of how we engage with mediated experiences.
