Bismuth uses the power of language and image to morph rational ideas into absurd situations, and vice versa. Drawing from art history and cultural references―from fashion to cinema― Bismuth uses all art mediums available, from origami and collage to screenwriting and art installations. This volume charts the artist’s development through an analytical text, a visual gallery of works and an interview by a renowned art critic. A thorough and insightful reference, it provides a portrait of Bismuth’s past and present work, and many of his works are assembled together for the first time.
