Carsten Holler >Register<

by Carsten Holler, Germano Celant (Editor), Miuccia Prada (Editor)

In an effort to implicate a wider public in the experience and production of art, Carsten Höller employs strategies of direct involvement that help to abolish the barrier between the work of art and the spectator. Sculptures and installations designed for the Fondazione Prada insist on visitor interaction, and the act is the works change progressively through intermittent lights that transmit vibrations to the visitor's body. A hallucinatory subversion of private sensation results, in accord with Höller's aspiration to sabotage the complacencies of everyday life. Complete with a biography and bibliography, this catalogue is the most exhaustive documentation of Höller's challenging work to date.
