Mueller – Leg

What is a leg and where can I get one? Why does it matter, what is it wearing? How many
legs in the street, in my room, in the car, in the saloon? Is that an arm I see in the near distance, a sense of melancholy? Leg, do you have one to spare?

This book is the result of an extensive re-examination of the archive of Marianne Mueller‘s photographs from 1987 to 2017.

Marianne Mueller (b.1966) is a Zurich-based artist working mostly with photography, video, installation, and books.
