Where art, science, and poetry meet: the first comprehensive book on Kristina Buch's multifaceted practice.
Kristina Buch. Between Horizons presents the first in-depth overview of an internationally acclaimed artist whose practice unfolds between disciplines, species, and worldviews. With a background in biology, theology, and fine art, Buch creates a poetic body of work that moves fluidly across sculpture, installation, photography, video, and writing.
The book captivates with:
- Comprehensive coverage of nearly two decades, from large-scale installations to intimate "life gestures"
- Texts by renowned voices, including Chus Martínez, Aimee Walleston, Ben Quash, and a major conversation with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev
- Insights into an interdisciplinary practice, where science, philosophy, and art open new horizons of imagination
- a CD featuring a selection of spoken-word compositions by Kristina Buch & electronic composer Robert Logan.
Richly illustrated and intellectually engaging, this monograph is essential for readers interested in contemporary art that rethinks boundaries and fosters new connections between disciplines.
Kristina Buch (1983, Germany) has exhibited at dOCUMENTA (13), the Istanbul Biennial, Kunsthalle Basel, MALBA, Pinakothek der Moderne, among others. Her works are held in major collections, and she is currently Professor of Sculpture at Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe.
