Synopsis
Christoph Dettmeier (born 1966) can find a Wild West prairie in Detroit, Berlin or anywhere that an industrial wasteland can stand in for a ghost town. In photographs, collages, sculptures and video backdrops for his performance Die Stunde des Cowboys (The Cowboy Hour), the artist's depictions of these non-locations make them look surrealistic and picturesque, and his country karaoke shows further heighten this effect.
