Description

Wolfgang Laib coined a phrase on the occasion of the opening of one of his exhibitions in France that can be taken as a description for his oeuvre: "L'éphémere, c'est l'éternité." (The ephemeral is eternal.) The present volume of photographs he took on his travels is Laib's attempt to somehow grasp this fleeting and almost intangible essence. Silent photographs that often pre- empt ideas then manifest in sculptures or installations he creates many years later.
