Born in 1952, Prague. Lives and works in Manchester, United Kingdom.

While he asserts that his artistic practice revolves around ‘making nothing happen’, Pavel Büchler creates installations, videos, sculptures, and works on paper that stimulate the mind with sharp wit and conceptual rigour. With economy and elegance, Büchler repurposes a variety of discarded objects, such as broken pencils, ashtrays, and paint chips, as well as obsolete technological devices like slide projectors and tape recorders, transforming them into visual puns. Through these creations, he offers fresh perspectives on nature, culture, art, and everyday life.
