His work combines a conceptual practice with a rough and critical attitude that questions its inner activity at the same time as it reflects on our sociological context. Even if the artist mainly works with text, using vinyl and neon as its supports, he explores a wide range of media, creating big installation pieces, videos, paintings and drawings. Brüggemann’s works find their essence in an odd combination between philosophical concepts (mainly grounded on post-structuralism and deconstructionism) and popular imagery, often inspired by punk ideologies and attitudes (anti-conformism, provocativeness and an cynicism). His main strategy is to insert a certain pop sensibility into conceptual practices. He has recently exhibited at the Kunshalle Bern, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Bass Museum Miami, Museum of Contemporary Art Cincinnati.
