Michael Sailstorfer: Works 2000–2022

Michael Sailstorfer is one of the most renowned German sculptors and object artists of his generation. His creations, which often require complex planning and production processes, are the results of reflections on and reinterpretations of everyday objects: intriguing, bizarre and humorous experimental arrangements and artefacts that interact with their environments, create spaces, or self-deconstruct. This monograph presents the most important works from Sailstorfer’s creative career. These transformative processes combine conceptual depth with poetic allure and tell stories of the passage of time and disintegration. Many of Sailstorfer’s installations depend on the beholder’s active engagement for their effect. He typically documents his sculptural experiments with the camera and later shares them with the public in the form of videos or photographs.Formally diverse writings and conversations with the artist offer profound insight into his practice.
