Trained in metalworking and tool making, Austrian sculptor Manfred Wakolbinger turned to jewelry design in the 1970s and sculpture in the 1980s, creating large-scale sculptures for public spaces.
Around this time, he also began working in photography and video with a particular interest in submarines.
Even when figurative and concrete, Wakolbinger's art remains enigmatic, an expression of inner poetry.
Manfred Wakolbinger: Inhale--Exhale features a selection of Wakolbinger's works in sculpture and photography since 2012, accompanied by essays and a conversation between Wakolbinger and curator Jasper Sharp.
The book also features the text The Beauty of Darkness by Wakolbinger's close friend, Austrian novelist Christoph Ransmayr.
