Author Description

With a conversation between Michael Heitz and Yves NetzhammerA head, a rump, arms, legs; joints, skin, blood-it only takes a little to identify the minimalist dolls Yves Netzhammer (*1970) draws on the computer; tender, yet shot through with violence at the same time, they are always getting into ambiguous situations. Taciturnly, they roam through the Swiss artist's installations and film clips, challenging the boundaries between virtual and three-dimensional space. Richly illustrated in order to live up to the subtle, multifaceted works, the catalogue investigates the independence of Netzhammer's art and its development through the most significant pieces from the years between 2008 and 2018, some of which are being published for the first time here.Exhibition: Museum zu Allerheiligen, September 28, 2018 - February 17, 2019
