Synopsis

Based on case studies and discussions of significant artworks and designs, this book explores scenographic concepts, practices and aesthetics in Germany after 1989. Facing the end of the political divide, the advent of the digital age and the challenges of globalization, German-based designers and scenographers have reacted in a variety of ways to these shifts in the cultural landscape. The book includes interviews, statements and case studies by eminent artists such as Katrin Brack, Anna Viebrock, Bert Neumann, Aleksander Denic, Ulrich Rasche, Klaus Grünberg, Kay Voges & Team, Rimini Protokoll, Dominic Huber/Blendwerk, Benjamin Foerster-Baldenius/raumlaborberlin and Uwe R Brueckner/Atelier Bruekner. By identifying scenographic practices, strategies and artistic tools, this book offers the first overview and in-depth analysis of the dynamic, multifaceted field of contemporary German scenography.
