“With Ziegler, I wrestle the reins of my gaze,
from the humming wires of my canvas."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "Much of the content in Ziegler's work is located in his process, a parallel of which can be found in the lossy compression and decompression of images in today's digital communication technologies. Ziegler's compression and flattening, while abandoning illusion, is enriched by allusion. But what is more interesting is how Ziegler has become this embodiment of Villem Flusser's post human, who instead of being a mere function of his different 'apparatuses', reveals their rule of play and the programmatic worldview of absurd coincidence. Now to become the masters of these out-of-body entities and play with the programmes that play with us!" - FaSa
