Hans Schabus Books

This catalogue documents the most important films, collages and sculptures of Austrian artist Hans Schabus (born 1970), made between 1999 and 2011. The book compiles 1:1 detail photographs (c. 9 x 12 inches) of all of his works, thus constituting a sort of sample book of Schabus' media and materials.

Twenty-five year old Hans Schabus represented Austria at the Venice Biennale in 2005--and stole hearts from all over the world--by building the Austrian Pavilion a Darth Vader-like mountain fa°ade. His craggy black exterior was as unfriendly as its interior was charming, with labyrinthine staircases up to the summit where viewers were granted skylight views of the sea and the city.
