Manuel Graf is interested in the big questions of humanity, the development of human existence, and its cultural achievements. His focus is on art itself, architecture, and craftsmanship, as well as reflections on contemporary visual persuasion strategies, such as those we know from advertising.

Using digital techniques such as 3D animation and architectural rendering, Graf connects themes that constantly establish links between different territories and historically overlapping time periods. In his latest works, he consistently uses text-to-image AI to ultimately transfer virtually created objects into the real world as 3D prints and casts.
