In his writings Herter presses against the limits of language and the political conditions of form. By doing so, Herter develops a distinctive body of work: athmospheric, non-linear and non-narrative. Understanding and non-understanding are a key part of his practice. His pieces are immersive, rhythmic and associative compositions, in search of footing in a shifting world.
