Neuware - Swiss artist Zimoun enjoys significant international renown for an oeuvre that he has been creating over a period of some twenty years. Zimoun uses kinetic principles of rotation and oscillation to set things in motion and generate sounds. He uses mundane, unspectacular materials and conventional industrial products. For his works, he develops small, minimalist apparatus that generate tonal and visual complexity when activated, despite their fundamental simplicity. These mechanical contraptions are often used hundreds of times in the installations, creating visual and acoustic spaces with fascinating power and poetry. This book presents sixty-five of these location-specific installations that Zimoun realized between 2009 and 2021 in various art galleries and museums around the world. The full-page images are supplemented with brief texts by international authors, who outline a variety of perspectives on Zimoun's work. Two concise essays consider and position his oeuvre in the wider international and art historical context. QR codes provided with all the images extend the book by enabling the direct playback of video documentations available online on smartphones or tablets, thus offering the reader the additional dimension of sound and movement-the essential elements of Zimoun's art.; Der Schweizer Künstler Zimoun findet für sein bereits über zwanzig Jahre hinweg entstandenes Schaffen grosse internationale Anerkennung. Zimoun nutzt kinetische Prinzipien der Rotation und Oszillation, um Dinge in Bewegung zu setzen und dadurch zum Klingen zu bringen. Dafür verwendet er einfache, unspektakuläre Materialien aus dem Alltag und gewöhnliche Industrieprodukte. Er entwickelt für seine Werke kleine, minimalistische Apparaturen, die trotz der ihnen zugrunde liegenden Einfachheit durch ihre Aktivierung klangliche und visuelle Komplexität generieren. Oft werden diese mechanischen Systeme in den Installationen hundertfach eingesetzt und erzeugen so visuelle und akustische Räume von faszinierender Kraft und Poesie. Dieses englischsprachige Buch präsentiert 65 dieser raumspezifischen Installationen, die Zimoun zwischen 2009 und 2021 in verschiedenen Kunsträumen und Museen rund um die Welt realisiert hat. Die ganzseitigen Abbildungen werden begleitet von kurzen Texten internationaler Autorinnen und Autoren, die unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf Zimouns Werk skizzieren. Zwei konzise Essays betrachten und verorten sein uvre zudem im weiteren internationalen und kunsthistorischen Kontext. Allen Abbildungen beigestellte QR-Codes erweitern das Buch durch das direkte Abspielen von online verfügbare Video-Dokumentationen auf Smartphones oder Tablets und verleihen dem Buch damit eine zusätzliche Dimension von Klang und Bewegung - den essenziellen Elementen von Zimouns Kunst.…
