Zabriskie Point by Olaf Nicolai

Following on from an obsession with the film Zabriskie Point, Nicolai has produced a body of photographic work inspired by this Antonioni movie. A collection of amazing, meditative and obscure photos are included in the artist’s book, published on occasion of his exhibition opening and shot on location in the California Death Valley.

The show invites 14 artists from various countries including Germany, Australia, Belgium, Switzerland, Great Britain, Mexico and Kosovo. The different works are situated both inside the gallery space and outside of it, using part of the courtyard where Chert and Motto are located. In this way, the attention is moving between the ideas of precariousness and delicacy, creating a different approach to the public in respect of the artwork, focusing on the differences between a traditional gallery context and an extemporaneous placement.

Das Beiwerk

Nik Thoenen, Lorenzo le kou Meyr



”The book is object-like, white, reduced to its body, as if torn from 
its cover and apparently relieved of its content. The content remains 
imaginary, it is gleaned only through the remaining footnotes. It is 
these marginal notes that open the space for interpretation, incidental meanings, that act and tempt.” NT

Das Beiwerk
Nik Thoenen, Lorenzo le kou Meyr

“Das Buch ist objekthaft, weiss, auf seinen Buchkörper reduziert, als ob es dem Umschlag entrissen worden wäre und scheinbar dem Inhalt enthoben. Der Inhalt bleibt gedacht, er markiert sich bloss durch die übriggebliebenen Fussnoten. Es sind diese Randbemerkungen, welche den Raum zur Interpretation öffnen, Nebensächlichkeiten, die agieren und verleiten.”
