The ability to establish new frameworks of interpretation through a refined manipulation of form which serves to liberate the object of its definitude and traditional raison d’être places Michael Sailstorfer at the very forefront of a new generation of concept and installation artists in Germany today.
The Berlin artist has now produced a series of works exclusively for Perrotin New York: Bridging the traditional chasm that divides the internal from the tangible external, he employs a teardrop analogy to strip naked the most extreme states of the human mind.
