{"product_id":"56865-erwin-olaf","title":"Erwin Olaf","description":"The Dutch photo artist Erwin Olaf creates a world staged down to the smallest detail for his photographs and films. Although it bears an uncanny resemblance to our own, its artificiality makes it enigmatic. With their aesthetics borrowed from the film and advertising industries, his pictures are, however, only superficially flawless and striking. In fact, they address questions of democracy, equality, and self-determination. On the occasion of his first major solo exhibition in Germany, this accompanying catalog explains essential aspects of Olaf's artistic work. At the same time, it offers an attractive overview of his multifaceted oeuvre from the past forty years. Olaf's latest works, created especially for the exhibition at the Kunsthalle München, are also published here for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is also available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/search?q=4921\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eERWIN OLAF (*1959) studied journalism.
