Ossian Fraser (b. Edinburgh 1983 lives in Munich and Berlin) molds and captures evanescent
moments. Working with volatile materials such as water dust or light the artist exposes the
latent potentials of unremarkable situations in the urban fabric and natural scenes. A tunnel
in a city a rock face in the mountains become points of departure and elementary components of
his site-specific interventions which he records in photographs. The book is the first to
offer comprehensive insight into Fraser's artistic practice. Series of pictures showcasing his
conceptual and poetic pieces alternate with conversations that not only demarcate the framework
in which his art operates but also touch on the great issues of our time. Ossian Fraser
studied fine arts and sculpture at the Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences Bonn
from 2006 until 2009 and at the Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin from 2009 until 2013
rounding out his education in Albrecht Schäfer's master class in 2013-2014.
