Andy Hermann (b. 1986, Athens, Greece) lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland. Working primarily across sculpture and installation, Hermann recontextualizes everyday objects, mirrors, and reflective surfaces into arrangements that oscillate between intimacy and display. Shoes, sunglasses, shells, hangers, and fragments of domestic and consumer material culture retain traces of their previous function while becoming vehicles for examining aspiration, vulnerability, migration, and class.

 

Informed by lived experiences across different national and social environments - including professional trajectories ranging from finance to service work - Hermann’s practice engages with the unstable relationship between identity, labour, desire, and contemporary material culture. Familiar materials are transformed into poetic yet unstable constellations that expose tensions between status, belonging, emotional projection, and the construction of self.

 

Hermann’s work is held in private collections across Switzerland and Europe.
