About the Works

Hildebrandt repeatedly uses analogue data carriers in his paintings and installations. In this way, minimalist works are created from deformed and cut vinyl, from cassette boxes or from tapes attached directly to canvas, to which a further, invisible dimension is added by the musical prehistory. Individual and collective memory are universally touched and addressed here in a romantic way. Recently, large sculptures have also been created, like pawn pieces from an invisible chessboard.  Collages of coloured and black-and-white vinyl inspired by Venetian terrazzo flooring reconnect the work with the world of music and the vinyl record. Hildebrandt also curates exhibitions and runs a record label.
