About this Item

Z : 21 x 28 cm, Hardcover, 64 pages,62 color illustrations - Markus Uhr is driven to that which goes unnoticed, to the forsaken, self-descriptive instant. He is in search of non-moments or, as he puts it, the white spots that hold the world together. Always carrying his camera with him, he's finding images in his immediate environment which depict the gaps in our everyday lives. In this first monograph, the artist uncovers a melancholy which Freud defined as a sadness that cannot be specified and is not directed at anything, through his collages, photographs, and drawings. From the arrangement of the images, the configurations of series and sequences, emerge possible readings.

About this title

Synopsis

Leipzig artist Markus Uhr carries his camera everywhere, snapping up "the white spots that hold the world together." In this first monograph, Urh presents photographs, collages and drawings that approach Freud's melancholy--the "sadness that cannot be specified and is not directed at anything." Uhr is the recipient of 2007 Guggenheim and Swiss Art Awards.
