SOMETHING YOU ALREADY KNOW,

Artist book, 2022, 30,4 x 20,4 cm, hand dyed linen cover, edition: 10

The series of works SOMETHING YOU ALREADY KNOW thematises the search for implicit knowledge and asks how one can search for something that one already knows – and what motivates this search.
The work is based on the theory of implicit knowledge by the philosopher and chemist Michael Polanyi (1881-1976) and is the starting point for the observations of one’s own individual work process.
As part of this search for one’s own implicit knowledge and the overcoming of existing routines in the artistic process – and also for possible answers, 4 works have been created.
