In this German-language-only installment of Hans Ulrich Obrist's Conversation Series, the acclaimed curator-conversationalist speaks with the German Pop Surrealist painter Konrad Klapheck, and includes the German conceptual photographer Hans-Peter Feldmann--who was there to document the afternoon's activities with a series of photographic portraits--in the talk. Writing of Klapheck's psycho-erotic machine imagery in a 1994 Art in America review, critic Ken Johnson wrote, What makes Klapheck's pictures compelling is the way the objects he paints are psycho-erotically animated. His machines...are like primitive totems...monumental, amusingly absurd and sexually suggestive. This volume contains generous photo documentation, with many new paintings depicting offbeat human sexual encounters reproduced in color.
