This monograph focuses on Monika Oechsler’s new works for two recent solo exhibitions at Site Gallery, Sheffield and Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz. It includes a selection of previous works and images of recent installation works including scripts of two new sound/voice installations. Oeschler is interested in the preparation work, which takes place in a theatre before the actual play begins. The construction of the space of illusion becomes the real spectacle, as the working processes of theatre are documented on film, then re-staged in relation to the space of the museum or art gallery.
