[edit] Characterisation

We can access O. Brody`s work as into an area of profound loss often escalated with an unpleasant physical symptom. Brody is operating as an observer and researcher at the borders of ethical limits whose existence is for most of us not disputable but mostly feared and ignored. We have eligible and natural fright that we could easily loose control and that these evil forces could take over us. In Brody`s raw, almost anti-artistic approach is over-explained, over-exposed and left with it`s original anti-aesthetic stage everything that most of us is trying to hide under the carpet.

He often works in team with Kristofer Paetau.
