Key Works / Key Texts The work of Swiss artist Rémy Zaugg (1943–2005) has always impressed with its interdisciplinary approach and theoretical foundation in artistic practice, with painting remaining the central focus for Zaugg. His artistic position is still unique today because he primarily posed the existential question of perception. Without the perception of both the artist and the viewer, and without constant engagement with their ever-changing conditions, there can be no artistic work. This work can only be process-oriented and must surrender to phenomena, thus it cannot be reduced to the object. For Rémy Zaugg, painting (since the 1960s) has always been regarded as a form of fundamental research for applied projects, whether in architecture or elsewhere.
