In Limbo, Where Else
Im Limbus, Wo Sonst


The book "In Limbo, where else" strives to balance an intermediate state of a book that can both be read and viewed as a conceptual reversed object. The book is camouflaged as a notebook. It contains nine short stories whose narrator is characterized as an anti-flaneur driven by his restlessness and ambiguity. The non-linear narrations of his dystopian journeys obviously deny certain laws of fiction writing. The narrative continuously follows a different junction, thus evoking a constantly changing focus in order to trigger the flow of inner images. Deception, paranoia and absurdity are woven into the text like ornaments. Interlaced are also the titles of the author's artistic oeuvre emphasizing the self-referential nature of the book.

FUTURE SHOW (November – December 1948)


FUTURE SHOW is an ongoing investigation into objects of art that have vanished from the field of vision. These objects were once housed within the original Future Show in New York’s Museum of Non-Objective Art from November to December of 1948. It was an era when movements in modern art confronted the new perceptual management of modern life with corresponding visions. These lost objects are being reconstructed in this publication.
