Mack's work is grouped into chapters by type, including Installations, Wings, Rotors, Light Objects, Cubes/Prisms, Sculpture and Painting. An unusual feature adds 24 selected writings on Mack by critics, art historians and other artists. Going back more than 50 years, these fascinating texts are paired with photos of the works they discuss, showing how the works were received at the time they were made. The overall impression reinforces Mack's tremendous importance to the art world throughout his career.
A conversation between Mack and Hans-Ulrich Obrist and Daniel Birnbaum creates a bridge of understanding between today's observers and this wise elder, who is still a vital producer and observer of art. "Light has an existential significance for me whereby I naturally think about shadow as well in a strictly dualistic and dialectical way," Mack says. "To paraphrase Leonardo: light is waning darkness and darkness is waning light."
The book includes a complete biography, list of solo and group exhibitions, and bibliography.

Auflage. 224 S. mit 150 farbigen und 30 s/w Abbildungen Format 30 x 24,5 cm, Halbleinen geprägt, doppelt gefalteter Schutzumschlag - Heinz Mack war Mitbegründer der ZERO-Bewegung und hat mit seinem lichtkünstlerischen und bildhauerischen Werk die Kunst seit 1960 nachhaltig beeinflusst. Sein 80. Geburtstag 2011 und die Wiederentdeckung seines Werks durch eine jüngere Künstlergeneration bieten den Anlass für diese große Hommage. Das Buch zeigt umfassend die Kontinuität des utopischen Kunstgedankens bei Heinz Mack, in dessen Arbeiten neue Wahrnehmungsformen von Licht, Raum und Farbe ebenso eine zentrale Rolle spielen, wie sein Hauptaugenmerk statt der Komposition stets der Struktur gegolten hat.
