New monograph

Exhaustive monograph devoted to the Swiss artist (*1963) who has lived in New York for several years.

Using photography, video, painting, drawing, sculpture, sound, and text by turns, Rondinone is a virtuoso of forms and techniques. Developing surprising sensorial environments, he especially likes destabilizing our perceptions and unsettling our certainties. Rearranging content and formal elements through a personal poetic filter while taking directly from the outside world, he draws us into a synesthetic experience.

This monograph recreates this work in all its richness, documenting all pieces since 2005, organized by typologies.
