Christl Mudrak's first monograph publication is dedicated to her artistic, painterly work of the last two decades. The book is both a search for traces and a tracker of an artistic practice that contradicts the simplifying patterns of art historiography and makes institutional appropriation more difficult. In addition to the creation of experiential spaces and participatory-performative painting, Mudrak's work focuses on exploring the potential of collaborative work, based on a deep understanding of the equality of humans, animals and nature. Through this monograph, Mudrak's often ephemeral art is not only made visible, but can be experienced anew.

Christl Mudrak (*1972) deals with spaces that have a physical and psychological effect on the viewer. In interactive processes with human collaborators, but also animals and plants, she questions concepts of artistic authorship. She lives and works in Berlin.
