Nietzsche in Italien. Text-Bild-Signatur

Ein Cross-over von Kunst und Philosophie

availability unknown, if interested please write an email

Artist book accompanying a cross-over project of art and philosophy, created as a series of 30 objects (12x9x6") and an aluminium-box that contains 3 plexiglas-plates carrying heat-transfers of text, image, signature.

The textual passages on the first plates are temporally assigned to Nietzsche's visits of places in Italy the photographs on the second plate are referring to; the signature-plate on third level comprises the variety of Nietzsche's names as well as the Italian place-names in his handwriting. The mise en scene of the 3 writings puts their mediality into focus and subverts the purpose of the meaning as the aim of reading. Language: English/German
