Rainer Ganahl, I wanna be Alfred Jarry

More about the book

This volume gathers Rainer Ganahl's numerous works devoted to Alfred Jarry, the playwright, novelist, avid cyclist and chief theorist of Pataphysics. Ganahl, in whose art bicycles are a recurrent motif, here presents a series of staged photographs of himself with a bike, costumed as Jarry, as well as Jarry-related sculptures and drawings, weaving a semi-fictitious portrait of the great man.
