Description
Wolfgang Laib: Crossing the River explores the artist's profound relationship with nature and his pursuit of simplicity in his work. Since his journeys to India, Laib has been inspired by Eastern philosophies that emphasize the interconnectedness of all things. In this book, Laib reveals the spiritual dimension of his art through a conversation with renowned architect Peter Zumthor. The artist shares his process for creating an extensive installation made from thousands of tiny rice mountains at the Bündner Kunstmuseum, highlighting the significance of natural materials in his work. The book offers a unique insight into Laib's poetics and invites readers to explore the sources of his artistic vision.
