Text
The Artist book was published on the occasion of the exhibition SCHÖN VERMÄHLT (12.7.2019 – 1.19.2020) by Kamilla Bischof at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien.
The specially designed artist’s book by Kamilla Bischof demonstrates the double talent of the artist and writer. Bischof contrasts her painting and photography in the exhibition space also with a prose interspersed and staged them in in prop-like installations. In her texts Bischof pursues similar strategies as in her painting: Her narratives are mostly concretely located in the real world, though, time and time again, they drift off into the realm of the surreal.
