Matthias Mollner is a resister who deals with the hidden and repressed in his works in order to generate expanded ways of being. His work focuses on the creature, the inner being that is neither human nor animal, but everything at the same time. Accordingly, the visual artist works with animals such as earthworms or pigs and uses his own body as a material and amplifier of expression. Using humor as a weapon in the fight against carelessness, Mollner rebels against the destructive, world-destroying systems of the present. His art is shown in different places, often in public spaces. Various media such as performance, sculpture, photography, image, video and sound are woven into a non-hierarchical network. With his performance sculptures, the artist creates experiential spaces; his works reject classical genre designations. Matthias Mollner is an adventurer who moves through the cave systems of human existence in a constant search for something new. His richly illustrated monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the artist’s work over the last 12 years. In addition to the illustrations, the book contains project concepts and texts by several authors who interpret Mollner’s densely woven work from an art-historical, philosophical and literary perspective.
