Description

In an extraordinary total installation, Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger have addressed the motif and significance of the dance of death. On the site of a former cemetery, the original location of Basel's Dance of Death, which was destroyed in 805, they implemented a market situation that conincided with the Basel Autumn Fair. They invited artists from very different domains to create images, urns, models and performances. Each market stall and each offering presented a unique view of death. This richly illustrated publication reproduces manifestations, thoughts and documents pertaining to the dance of death and its significance to society.--Cover.
