Daniel Dressel is an artist who works across media. His work explores social relations and everyday situations, in an attempt to 'hack' and to debunk underlying rules and belief-systems. His practice operates somewhere between auto-biography, documentary and speculative fiction, both in private and in public space, which often results in scenarios in which the work appears in the process of 'making itself' through its interaction with the viewer. It can be seen a negotiation perhaps, that interferes with the structure of the world, and that in turn allows others to interact with its complexities and its contradictions.

IDENTITY SPLIT



In 2016 my name was for the first time mentioned on E-FLUX. I was one of the participating artists at Alternativa 2016, curated by Anna Nawrot, Lívia Páldi and Aneta Szyłak. In 2022 my name was mentioned again on E-FLUX, this time not as a participating artist, but as a technical project coordinator.

It is true for most artists that they cannot pay their rent, buy food and the material for their work only with the income they generate through their practice: It is a constant struggle to find the right balance between life as an artist and the necessity to earn money. This is why those of us who don't earn enough money as artists and who did not inherit a fortune from their families often have to work in other jobs as well - for example on construction sites, as care workers, in the service industry, as teachers, etc.

Also I cannot afford to work as a full-time artist - even though I would like to. I need a part-time job to pay my bills. Nevertheless I am in a quite fortunate position: because I am self-employed as a technician I can choose to work the necessary minimum in order to maximise the time I have as an artist. However, this work identity easily gets blurred and confused with my artist identity, because both identiies are rooted in the field of art and culture.

This is the reason why I chose to split them up. From now on I use my mother's maiden name for my artist identity: Daniel Vollmond, formerly known as Daniel Dressel.
