The first major publication of Zurich artists Huber.Huber (Markus and Reto Huber). A selection of collages and ink drawings from the large group of works titled Mikrouniversum (2005-2011) is presented in a relatively chronological order as a “guiding series” through the collected works. Other pieces are interjected which adopt aspects of the “guiding series” and transform into increasingly complex collages and idyllic scenes in which the abysmal depths are always lurking nearby.
Condition: Fine.
