A German sculptor, photographer, and installation artist, Thorsten Brinkmann turned an abandoned Pittsburgh house into a complete work of art in 2013. A student of the photo-based artist Bernhard Blume and sculptor Franz Erhard Walther at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts, where he graduated in 2004, the influence of both teachers can be seen in his installations, photographs, videos, and the transformed house. Known as Le Hutte Royal, the three-story home now houses a permanent installation collaged and assembled from record albums, furniture, trophies, and other found and discarded materials. Brinkmann employed the same form of bricolage when staging the photographs on view at the fair, including Pony Tale, which playfully—and quite literally—uses found objects to construct a new visual tale."
