Michael Dreyer
Born	1953 Coburg, Germany
Occupation	Author, artistic director, artist

Michael Dreyer (born 1953) is a German artist, author, and director, who analyzes the basis of art. He creates, analyses and proves the connection between the presentation, history, attraction and forms of Art. Since 1982, Dreyer had worked as a professor at Merz Akademie in Stuttgart, Germany, where he had been teaching visual communication.

In his art pieces, Dreyer works with sculptures, environments, movies, theater pieces, musical issues, graphics and texts, with which he dissects the modules of their connection to each other. Dreyer states:

"Die Buchstäblickeit ist weit mehr Objekten eigen, als nur den umkehrbaren; wir können diese Objekte "magisch" nennen. Die Buchstäblickeit beruht darauf, dass es in diesen Fällen mehr auf das Eigenleben der Elemente innerhalb einer linearen Symbolkette (Wort, Melodie, Zahlenreihe, Bilderfolge, Filmszene) oder einer visuellen Streuung ("Punkt, Punkt, Komma, Strich ...") ankommt als auf die Referenz der Formen in Bezug auf eine konkrete Wirklichkeit außerhalb des Kunstwerks. Ton wir Sound, Wort wird Klang, Schirftzeichen wird Form, Lautzeichen wird Schriftzeichen."
