Wolfgang H Scholz (b. 1958) is a visual artist and film director.
His work spans more than three decades and encompasses apart from
painting many forms of expression, ranging from theatrical and
documentary films, sculpture, photography, and installations to
multimedia stage pieces. His central theme is the vision of an
imaginary arrival, and his work method is a form of decoding. Other
essential concepts that recur in Scholz's work include the
labyrinth, time, memories or localization and the questioning of
reality. The title The Void is taken from a Buddhist term for the
Fifth Element: The Void. Since 2010 Scholz has worked with Japanese
Butoh masters, creating several multimedia stage pieces and series
of photographic works on this theme. This volume includes a
conversation with Prof. Dr. Boris Groys of New York University, one
of the most important scholars of the arts and humanities of the
twentieth century. This dialogue is an essential text for
understanding the creative processes, references, and influences of
Wolfgang H Scholz concerning the philosophical and programmatic
themes of The Void. This book will be published to coincide with
exhibitions by the MACO - Museum of Contemporary Art Oaxaca (2019),
Mexico, the Museum Ex Teresa Arte Actual (2019), the gallery Casa
Galván - UAM - Universidad Autónoma metropolitana (2020) and in
collaboration with the presentations of the performance THE VOID at
the Butoh Festival Kyoto, Japan (July 2019) and at the Theatre CC
Los Talleres, Mexico City in 2019. Text in English with a Spanish
and German insert.
