{"product_id":"57342-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 looks strikingly similar to ours, its artificiality makes it enigmatic. With their aesthetic borrowed from the film and advertising industries, his pictures are 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 work from the past forty years. Olaf's most recent 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\/products\/56865-erwin-olaf?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=0bf386211\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eGerman\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eERWIN OLAF (*1959, Netherlands) began in the 1980s by capturing nightlife with documentary photography and went on to become an artist who creates cinematic photographs, often characterized by a mystical atmosphere, as a director and photographer.
