A catalogue as reader: the enclosed texts describe the nearly one hundred works the artist produced through the year 2020 under the name “Stefan Riebel”;* these texts, however, are autonomous pieces of writing ** in their own right. There are no images in this book, only one work each is printed on the dust jacket. The texts move freely between art, popular culture, and politics, referencing one another and the other artistic works described. In the process, they introduce each of the pieces—large and small, long in the planning or ephemeral, complex or quickly improvised—in the same way. Oscillating between Borgesian library labyrinth and a set of instructions for enacting works of (expressive) conceptual art, the book is an invitation to lose one’s way in its pages and to pursue its various paths.
