Features ‘On the Poetics of the Trace in the Works of Matthias Bitzer’, an essay by Ursula Ströbele.

This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition fever/field held at
Almine Rech Gallery Brussels, from January 27 to March 2nd, 2012.

In his works, the Berlin-based artist Matthias Bitzer (born in 1975 in Stuttgart, Germany) combines drawing, painting and sculpture into an experiential space exploring history and identity. His works have become increasingly multi-layered over the years while maintaining their focus on the construction of memory and the reconstruction of reality.
