Herbert Nauderer

Herbert Nauderer (* 1958) is an independent artist and musician whose collages and videos have been shown in numerous national and international exhibitions. The “Mausmannsland” (Mouseman’s Land) cycle features distorted childhood photographs and family pictures, drawings and retouched photographs that appear to be interlinked in a fantasy world. The masked “Mausmann” (Mouse Man) is always present among the figures that populate the mysterious works. In contrast to the famous Disney character, there is nothing cheerful about him, however. The “Mausman” stands for humankind itself, for the constant cycle of humans’ longing and failure.
