For the first volume in The Leporello Series, Heimo Zobernig makes optimal use of the accordion format, allowing rhythmic wording and typography to seamlessly transcend from individual words and phrases to shapes and structure.
Inhabiting a space between book and paper sculpture, the leporellos are printed on delicate Mohawk Superfine Eggshell paper. Each volume in the series is limited to 250 numbered copies and come in a bespoke rigid box, with the title hot foiled both on its front and on its spine, allowing it to sit comfortably in a bookshelf when not on display.
Heimo Zobernig is an Austrian artist widely acclaimed for his works in a variety of media, ranging from painting and sculpture to video, performance and site specific installation and design.
Heimo Zobernig’s experimental approach to the concept of sculpture often leads him to previously unexplored boundaries between art and architecture or design. For instance, he developed two large-scale, black installations for the floor and ceiling of the Austrian pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2015, which playfully question the relationship between bodies in space. Part of this radical yet minimalist installation was transferred to the Museum Ludwig where he full-scale replica served as a pedestal for the museum’s sculpture collection. This succinct placement can be read as a humorous and ironic commentary on collections and artistic self-conception.
Produced on the occasion of the exhibition The IMAGE in Singular at Amer Gallery, Vienna, 27 October–28 November, 1987. Including the artists; Fareed Armaly, Alan Belcher, Larry Johnson, David Robbins, Gerwald Rockenschaub, Wolfgang Schrom, Josef Strau and Heimo Zobernig.
