Ursula Böckler â Martin Kippenberger's "Magical Misery Tour"
This volume gathers Ursula Bockler's 1986 photographic documentation of the âBrazilian adventureâ of Martin Kippenberger (1953-97). Bockler, the artist's assistant at the time, depicts Kippenberger dancing in bars, celebrating his 33rd birthday and performing for the camera. He collects material for his works and projects, and engages with the urban backdrop in Salvador de Bahia, Manaus or Recife, staging various âAktionenâ in public spaces. Bockler's 150-plus images include her personal observations as well as Kippenberger's ideas and performative interventions. The journey also includes the legendary 'Aktion' of the purchase of a beach-front gas station that Kippenberger named the âMartin Bormann gas Tankstelleâ (based on the theory that the Nazi war criminal had moved to South America and was now operating a gas station).
184 pages, 21 x 27.3 cm, paperback, Bierke (Berlin).
