The Proper Ornaments

The camera is the medium through which Marianne Mueller observes self and world, at home and on trips, day and night. This was her starting point for The Proper Ornaments, an art book that simultaneously displays the last twelve years of her work. The book combines her lever body images and observations of the ubiquitous beauty of the allegedly mundane to become a dionysic shadowy world, something beyond reason and norm with texts by Bice Curiger, Martin Jaeggi, Marianne Mueller in German and English.
