In his work, Marcus Kaiser examines the medium of the image in its historical, philosophical, cultural and social contexts. His focus is on the examination of the concept of the image in everyday life and in the visual arts. He is concerned with examining different forms and structures of images, differentiating them and analysing their pictorial quality and their effect on individuals and society. His aim is to gain knowledge by researching and deconstructing media-specific properties and dispositives of image techniques in order to better understand their mode of operation as a prerequisite for the emergence of forms of ideology and difference. As a photographer and visual artist, he conducted research at the Caspar David Friedrich Institute at the University of Greifswald and has been teaching photography and the history of photography at the Faculty of Design at the THWS Würzburg-Schweinfurt since 2012.
