This comprehensive publication is Kai Althoff's third monograph. It
contains never-before-seen works in addition to images from every
stage of the artist's career, concentrating most heavily on work
since 2002. The artist considers this to be a more ideally composed
retrospective than any exhibition of his work would be capable of
achieving. The selection of images focuses on documenting the work
in a way that addresses the character of the works as well as the
artist's current and past perspectives on his oeuvre. Possessing
the emotional charge of the artist's works, this book presents
personal, previously unpublished photographs, paintings, and
writings of "failed satire" with a deceptive sentimentality that
oscillates between nostalgia and self-deprecation. This stands in
contrast with the innate beauty and craftsmanship of the works,
which engrossed the artist at the time of their conception.
"Souffleuse der Isolation" is also concerned with re-evaluating
past works and the emotional states in which they were spawned, and
how this pertains to the act of revisiting past portrayals of
oneself. This volume also features a text by the writer Angus Cook
imaginatively inspired by Althoff's work, written specifically for
this monograph, which served as a vital conceptual basis to its
composition. Also included is a text by Dr. Patrik Scherrer on the
use of textiles in the artist's work. Published in collaboration
with Kunsthalle Zurich.
