Ressler’s work is characterized by the presentation of alternatives to the status quo, which are conveyed as courses of action in his films, photographs and installations.
The publication documents Oliver Ressler's artistic work over the last 15 years and is appearing to mark the occasion of his solo exhibitions in LENTOS Kunstmuseum, Linz, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), Berlin, ar/ge kunst Galerie Museum, Bozen and Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporaneo–CAAC, Sevilla.
