Mary Bauermeister (born 1934) is regarded as the mother of the Fluxus movement. During the 1960s, she set out from the United States and conquered the art world with her lens boxes and stone spirals. Her works are represented in many major museums including MoMA and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as the Museum Ludwig in Cologne.

Mary Bauermeister by Thomas Köster presents her artistic, enchanted studio not far from Cologne. The photographer documented Mary Bauermeister's property in Rösrath near Cologne over many years. She designed it over a period of almost 50 years with cottages, towers, circus wagons, and her own works, as well as those of many others, creating a magical cabinet of curiosities.

The result is a unique documentation that shows Bauermeister's house and garden as the fairy-tale kingdom which her ex-husband, the composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, already knew in the 1980s.
