Tekst achterflap

This monumental and richly illustrated book offers an in-depth look at the fascinating work of one of our most innovative contemporary artists. It provides an overview of Marin Kasimir's already long career, making this publication a reference monograph.

Marin Kasimir himself is the designer and artistic guide of the work, which gives it the dual quality of being an artist's book and an art book. The texts by Ory Dessau and Jacinto Lageira focus on the construction and striking relevance of the work. The contributions by observers such as Luk Lambrecht, Marc-Emmanuel Mélon, Chris Dercon and other critics address the subjects that run through it, providing additional insight necessary for its understanding.

'Marin Kasimir's work, spanning more than four decades of creative investigation into and of the expanded field of art, occupies a singular place in contemporary visual culture - at once photographic and architectural, sculptural and cinematic, panoramic and site-specific.
Born in Munich in 1957 and long based in Brussels, Kasimir has developed a multidisciplinary practice that challenges the convention of representation, perspective and public space. Through panoramic photography, relief sculptures and architectural interventions, Kasimir's art explores how we perceive and navigate space.'
