I AM NOT INTERESTED IN REALITY | BERLIN

November 1, 2012 by nataschastellmach

Photographic prints which are scans of grotesque worry dolls that the artist has made, become adult totems to project fears onto and embody narcissism, failure, prejudice and murder. An installation involving an artist book encloses a dark erotic tale […]
