Peter Vahlefeld’s work explores how advertising and branding shape our visual culture. He is deeply engaged with the tension between the real and the represented, continually questioning ready-made images such as advertisements from international galleries, museums, and auction houses. By overpainting and partially erasing these materials, he challenges their authority and the implicit promises they seem to make. These ads appear to speak with no clear author, inviting viewers to trust them—but do they really convey the truth?
