Works

Martin Werthmann mainly comprises large format wood block prints, which consist of several overlapping layers and are printed as unique pieces. The topics often circle around catastrophes, mostly transmitted from found photos. Beside his pictorial works, Werthmann creates large scale installations, like the piece Vortex from 2014, a water vortex with a diameter of six meters that the observer could enter through the center. In 2019, he created his first scenery for Korngold's Die tote Stadt, directed by and musical direction by Yoel Gamzou, which was discussed widely in German newspapers.
