Urs Fischer: Good Smell Make‑Up Tree

Urs Fischer's sculptures, drawings and installations, says curator Beatrix Ruf, strike the viewer “as if an Internet search engine had generated a massive number of hits leading to technical and mental breakdown.” This book has been conceived by the artist as a cross‑reading of his process‑related and “style‑less” work through the arrangement of more than 200 images, including reproductions of works, installation views, studio shots and special features. Using a multitude of ordinary materials, Fischer creates non‑hierarchical collages of objects and thoughts, high and low aesthetics, mundane and artistic memories, and personal and political interrogations.
