大型經典作品 Gegenstrom中，女子在水中游泳，慢動作的肢體展現求生與探索出口的渴望。藝術家馬克利用極精密的錄像裝置、影像，搭配親手打造的雕塑佈局，將女性作為作品中的被觀看物件，處於孤立的約束狀態並展開各種身體行為，透過作品去觀察觀者的視角，反映女性在社會中所賦予的相對角色，也展現了當代社會中各階層的生、心理狀態，在層層疊疊的限制之下，人們游走在生存的邊界，並做出身體的回應。
Artist
Marck
(Switzerland, b. 1964）
Marck (Switzerland, b. 1964), a contemporary Swiss artist renowned for Video Sculpture, currently lives and works in Zurich. Marck's unconventional journey led him to enter a prestigious art school at a young age, only to leave due to the inability to tolerate formal education. Subsequently, he engaged in diverse occupations, including auto dismantling, mechanical electrician, rock singer, and tech installation design. Marck's unique life experiences transcend the imagination of conventional academy-trained artists, manifesting in his self-created video sculpture expressions, addressing societal issues through themes of frames, women, viewing, and interaction. in 2019 he was honored with the International Culture Award by Academia Culturale Internazionale Cartagine in Italy. His works have been showcased internationally and collected by significant museums including La Maison Rouge in Paris, St. Petersburg Contemporary Art Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Istanbul Modern, and the Karlsruhe Center for Art and Media.
