Wolfgang Laib (born 1950 in Germany) is considered to be one of the
most important artists of today. His work is characterized by a
profound relationship with nature and a declared belief in
simplicity. Eastern philosophies from India have also shaped his
life and his artistic practice since the 1970s. The artist
continues today to concentrate on just a few cyclical groups of
work. Ever since his journeys to India as a young man, Wolfgang
Laib has been inspired by the idea of seeing humans as part of a
larger whole. He also follows this way of life in his art: he
tracks down the universal, the eternal, and works with natural
materials such as pollen, rice, milk or bees wax. At the Bundner
Kunstmuseum, he presents an extensive, room-sized installation made
up of thousands of tiny rice mountains. An important foodstuff,
rice symbolizes vitality and is fundamental for our earthly
existence. The process of creating this work of art is revealed in
the book and is related to a conversation between Wolfgang Laib and
the internationally renowned Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. With
this book, Wolfgang Laib reveals the spiritual dimension of art and
leads us directly to the sources of his poetics.
