“I Melt, Therefore I Am!” Franticek Klossner is a pioneer of performance and media art in Switzerland.

This process enables viewers to visualize the stages of his evolution as a person and as an artist.
In this major monograph, Franticek Klossner for the first time presents his entire multimedia oeuvre. This body of work, consisting of performances, video art, medical imaging, drawings, and silhouettes, is contextualized from various perspectives through contributions by numerous international authors.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -«Ich schmelze, also bin ich!» - Franticek Klossner gehört zu den Pionieren der Performance und Medienkunst in der Schweiz. Spartenübergreifend verbindet er die Ausdrucksmittel der bildenden mit jenen der darstellenden Kunst. Klossner häutet sich wie eine Schlange, um sich selbst immer wieder neu zu erfinden. Das Abstreifen der eigenen Haut ermöglicht ihm, die Etappen seiner persönlichen Entwicklung als Mensch und als Künstler zu visualisieren. In dieser grossen englischsprachigen Monografie präsentiert Franticek Klossner sein bisheriges multimediales Schaffen erstmals in dessen Gesamtheit. Das umfangreiche Werk, bestehend aus Performances, Videokunst, medizinischer Bildgebung, Zeichnungen und Scherenschnitten, wird in den Textbeiträgen zahlreicher internationaler Autorinnen und Autoren aus aktuellen Perspektiven verortet. Übersichten zu Klossners bisherigen Ausstellungen, seinen Werken in öffentlichen Sammlungen sowie einem kompletten Werkverzeichnis seiner Videoarbeiten machen den Band auch zu einem wertvollen Arbeitsinstrument und Nachschlagewerk für öffentliche und private Kunstsammlungen. 496 pp. Englisch.
