Galerie Peter Kilchmann is pleased to announce the representation of Matthias Odin.

The relationship to movement is omnipresent in my work, and I think also in my life but I feel that it is something inherent, a condition of being human: that vital impulse to move within an environment that itself changes around us, sometimes more, sometimes less, with varying intensity. What interests me is our porosity, to such fluctuation.

Matthias Odin was born in 1995 in Lyon, France and lives and works in Paris, France. While he engages with universal themes such as wandering, encounter, disorientation, self-construction, and adaptation, the work of Matthias Odin is deeply introspective. His practice revolves around assembling and transforming collected objects, which anchor reflections on relationships to spaces and perception. Experiences in marginalized and sometimes clandestine urban environments have profoundly shaped his reflections on the occupation of urban space and on the strategies individuals develop to inhabit it.
