A collection of works by Japanese artist Tetsumi Kudo. It was published in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition held at the Fridericianum, Kassel in Kassel, Germany from 2016 to 2017. For 30 years from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s, the author continued to create consistent works that served as models for modern conceptual approaches such as posthumanism and new materialism. We look at the ideological boundaries that arise between humans, nature, and technology from a bird's eye view as an observer who does not take on emotions. Bottled dolls, dirty, colorful neon, battered skin, limp penis – these pieces seem to break the humanist confidence. In addition to the exhibition scene, this book includes archives and contributions by Mike Kelley and others.
