Mack Reflected
ZERO 2.0 - Heinz Mack's Oeuvre from a Present-Day Perspective
A particular quality of Heinz Mack's art is its relevance regarding questions of our time. By means of works from all creative periods, the book examines Mack's relationship to technology, science, and nature, offering exciting approaches, such as addressing the present-day challenges of the transformation of technology or the climate catastrophe.
Heinz Mack was always far ahead of his time: His reflector walls and plantations of lamellae devised 65 years ago anticipate present-day photovoltaic installations. His study of air, water, light, and sand helps to reflect the acute threat to natural resources. While the artist saw desert landscapes as empty, free spaces for his Land Art, today the Arctic and the Sahara symbolise climate change and the destruction of nature.
This multi-faceted, far-seeing publication shows Heinz Mack as an artist of the 21st century.
