Serge Ecker was born in Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg) in 1982. He lives and works between Luxembourg and Berlin.

Trained in digital imaging and special effects, Serge Ecker is interested in the representation of reality through the prism of new technologies: software for recomposing spaces, geolocation images and 3D printers are the tools of this neo-sculptor of space and architectural form.

He focuses on urban spaces, whether as a whole that he recomposes (Visit Luxembourg! LUX-PVG, Vis à vis, Welcome to Schengen) or as architectural details threatened by destruction, oblivion or lack of attention (re-space/re-visit series, Shades). These are non-places or in-betweens that Serge Ecker likes to reveal, point out and reappropriate, the better to question our constructed space (Ma, CT 01).

After the tsunami in Japan, he captured shots of devastated homes, which he supplemented with other images found in the media, on the Internet and with tools such as Google Earth and Google Streetview. He then digitally recomposes the images in 3D to obtain fragments of reality, reconstructed using spatial modelling software to create a hyper-reality. Serge Ecker gives them a new existence, volume and several dimensions. He models spaces like a digital sculptor and chooses his parameters.

He took the same approach when he produced the sculpture of Melusina, deconstructing the myth of this legendary and mysterious figure. He collects fragments of her story, photographs and scans an existing model to deconstruct it into multiple polygonal surfaces that are then recomposed according to selected data. Deconstructing and reconstructing a shaped myth that has become its own synthesis. Serge Ecker reappropriates and synthesises the Real, questioning authenticity, sometimes in a cynical tone.
