Markus Amm (B. 1969)

‘You can’t act as though modernism can be reinvented; everyone knows the historical development it went through. Humor and irony are perhaps a good way to approach it. I wasn’t interested in holy values that lay claim to a final and timeless beauty. I don’t believe in that; on the contrary. When I approach modernism it means breaking with all these clichés’
