Thomas Scheibitz – Der ungefegte Raum
Thomas Scheibitz is not only a painter and sculptor, but also a passionate bookmaker. In this artists' book, he presents new, mostly unpublished works. With the title Der ungefegte Raum (The Unswept Room) Scheibitz refers to the antique tradition of trompe l'oeil painting and the Greek mosaic designer Sosos of Pergamon (2nd century BC), whose invention of ornamenting mosaic floors with food, as if it were left-overs from a lavish meal, goes under the motto "The Unswept Floor." This mosaic forms the leitmotif base of this artists' book.
