Mahtola Wittmer: Back to Back
Back to Back is the first comprehensive presentation of Mahtola Wittmer’s work. In her art, the young Swiss artist focuses on the interaction between you and I, between I and the world. What happens when people encounter one another? What happens when bodies come up against architecture? In her performances, the artist finds incisive and playfully humorous images for aspects of human relationships – for closeness, tension, support, repulsion, and attraction. The new series on paper dedicated to the human face is just as minimalist as her performances. On thousands of sheets, the artist examines how much or how little it takes to recognise a face. The publication can be read from both sides equally – back to back – allowing readers to become performers.
566 pages, 16.6 Ă— 11.6 cm, hardcover, Mousse (Milan).
