An art book about pictures of pictures

Repetition plays a central role in Jari Genser's work; he paints pictures that always show the previous picture in the process of its creation. The result is an endless series: pictures of pictures of pictures, like two mirrors facing each other, showing an ever-diminishing reflection. Not to mention the spaces in which they were created, the things that lie around there, placed randomly or with foresight; in short, a life. How quickly time passes.

This monograph provides, for the first time, a detailed overview of the artist's first 16 works created in this way, starting in 2012, thereby leading the reader through his oeuvre like a visual diary. The presentation of the works is complemented by an annotated inventory of all 477 objects included in the paintings.

Jari Genser, bildender Künstler, lebt und arbeitet in Wien und Salzburg
