Wolfgang Laib

The Beginning of Something Else
An extraordinary collection of texts and images compiled by Wolfgang Laib.

Wolfgang Laib: The Beginning of Something Else combines texts that are particularly important for the artist’s creative work, together with a variety of selected images. Included are, for example, passages from the "Epic of Gilgamesh", a poem by the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma, and thoughts by Friedrich Nietzsche.

The texts and images are combined to create an unusual publication, which reflects Wolfgang Laib’s (b. 1950) interest in literature as well as some of the most important sources of inspiration for his sensitive work. This collection reveals Wolfgang Laib in a subtle and personal way. It sheds light on an artist whose work, which dates back to the 1970s, has questioned our treatment of nature, and thus could not be more topical.
