Jeremias Altmann – YOUNG PROPHECIES / MACHINES

Two series of works by Jeremias Altmann In his artistic work Jeremias Altmann deals with the themes of machine, man, and development. This elaborately designed monograph presents the artist’s series YOUNG PROPHECIES and MACHINES. In the YOUNG PROPHECIES series, Altmann reconstructs his own childhood drawings. The examination of the inner workings of technical devices over time is the starting point for the MACHINES series. The presentation of the series is complemented by a short essay by the artist, with themes ranging from child psychology to reflections on the tension between man and machine. The unusual design of the book with two reading directions allows for a playful exploration of the series. This breaks the typical reading routine by weaving text and image into a unique singularity. - Presentation of two extraordinary series of works by the artist Jeremias Altmann
