Michael Schirner: I don’t even exist

Berlin 2012 | Friday, 18 May 2012 | 15:00 | TYPO Hall | German
The lecture at Typo Berlin takes a look at the equal status afforded advertising and art in Schirner’s works, his principles of reducing image and text, making the invisible visible, the work of self-deconstructing the artist as an author, expert and specialist, about which Schirner says: »My art is not my work. You are the creator of the image in your head. I don’t even exist.«
