Summary:
The book presents the installation artist Markus Heinsdorff's continuing study of the topics of space, the forces of nature and upcycling by means of over 40 works. The overview is completed by text contributions by famous authors who interpret Heinsdorff's international creative works from a variety of perspectives. Anyone wishing to understand the comprehensive work of Markus Heinsdorff will have to embark on a voyage around the world: from the depths of the Amazon to the vast cities of India and the small villages of Africa. The projects presented here are subject to a wide range of influences which the artist approaches with imagination and engineering precision. The volume introduces an impressive œuvre through sketches and photos of models and realisations which hover at the interface between architecture and sustainable art.
