Mark Manders is a Dutch visual artist. His oeuvre consists mainly of installations, drawings, sculpture and short films. An important characteristic of the art of Mark Manders is that his works are not to be seen as separate, individual works of art, but are constituent of his larger *self-portrait as a building*: a labyrinthine sculptural construction with many virtual rooms. The installations are representations of his ideas and thoughts and invite the viewer to decipher both the mystery of the work, and of the artist.
