Martin Liebscher – Ein Mann mit Eigenschaften / Concertina folder/book

Is artist Martin Liebscher suffering from multiple personality disorder? A mere glance at his “Familienbilder” (Family Pictures) answers this question beyond any doubt. The current volume (if you can call it a “volume”?!) retrospectively summarizes family images and panoramas of the artist’s oeuvre. His frequently extreme horizontal formats asked for a similarly extreme handling of the “book” format. The result is a concertina folder, eleven meters in length, bound in lizard-skin finish. It allows the presentation of the images in large formats without any bends at the bindings. The attentive eye will discern a suggestive secret on its back.
