Friedrich Kunath. In My Room

The book encompases the last five years of Kunath’s practice and is an extension of his unique aesthetic. Complex and playful installations of paintings, sculptures and videos feature a cornucopia of imagery, brought together from such diverse sources as Old Master paintings, slapstick cartoons, anthropomorphized animals, and pop iconography from the 1960s and 70s. A narrative around the emotional life of the artist is enacted through fictional characters, producing an in-between world filled with both humour and pathos. Design by Yvonne Quirmbach in close collaboration with the artist.
