Book Hero thinking about your next read

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Ingo Gerken's monographic catalogue literally opens a new chapter in his series of works, Bibliosculptures. Images of open exhibition publications or art magazines become the object of investigation here.

Seemingly randomly opened book pages create a play of forces or connections between text and image compositions. By depicting these views of books in the book, the medium itself is both the object and subject of analysis β€” typical of Gerken's artistic practice.
