This catalogue documents the first museum-based solo exhibition in Germany by the New York artist Javier Téllez (born 1969 in Venezuela).

Javier Téllez, whose work oscillates between fiction and documentation, reinterprets classic material from the stage and screen, and deconstructs accustomed socio-cultural boundaries. Alongside installations by the artist, the Kunstverein also presented Téllez’s four most important films. »La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc« (Rozelle Hospital, Sydney; 2004), »Oedipus Marshal« (2006), »Letter on the Blind for the Use of Those Who See« (2007) und »Caligari und der Schlafwandler« (Caligari and the Sleepwalker; 2008).
