Greylight Projects
Marcus Kaiser (*1967) was born in Tübingen and grew up on the edge of the Swabian Alb, directly on the European watershed.
As a young man, he began to design his parents' garden as a biotope with ponds, stone piles, walls, and deadwood. Today, among countless wild herbs, meadow flowers, and grasses, up to 200 orchids of eight species grow there, and many insects, spiders, amphibians, reptiles, and birds call it home.

Kaiser's artistic work is shaped by these experiences.
He studied cello at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf and subsequently at the city's art academy.
He works simultaneously on various, sometimes very different, groups of works, which are sorted into larger exhibitions to form comprehensive contexts, quasi-biotopes, in which the artist also lives and works. Audio and video recordings are made there and concerts are also performed, which can be woven into future exhibitions. Over long periods of time, this creates sedimentation processes and feedback loops that form the basis, the humus, so to speak, for new works.
A central aspect in Kaiser's work - he calls the overarching structure of the work operatic fractal - is the (organic) growth that approaches a flow equilibrium „steady state“ over long periods of time.
In the courtyard of his Düsseldorf studio, he has created an inner-city rainforest with tree ferns and palm trees. These plants are also frequently featured in exhibitions.
