His work is characterized by a profound relationship with nature and a declared belief in simplicity. Eastern philosophies from India have also shaped his life and his artistic practice since the 1970s. The artist continues today to concentrate on just a few cyclical groups of work.Ever since his journeys to India as a young man, Wolfgang Laib has been inspired by the idea of seeing humans as part of a larger whole. He also follows this way of life in his art: he tracks down the universal, the eternal, and works with natural materials such as pollen, rice, milk or bees wax.At the Bündner Kunstmuseum, he presents an extensive, room-sized installation made up of thousands of tiny rice mountains. An important foodstuff, rice symbolizes vitality and is fundamental for our earthly existence. The process of creating this work of art is revealed in the book and is related to a conversation between Wolfgang Laib and the internationally renowned Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. With this book, Wolfgang Laib reveals the spiritual dimension of art and leads us directly to the sources of his poetics.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 300mmItem Length: 240mmContributor: Damian Jurt (Edited by), Stephan Kunz (Edited by), (Edited by)Genre: Arts & PhotographySubtitle: Crossing the RiverAuthor: Damian JurtRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
