Michael Müller. Ernstes Spiel. Catalogue Raisonné

Volume 4.2 of Michael Müller's catalogue raisonné is devoted exclusively to the large-format, 126-part work Lektüre und Ablenkung (2016/17), which belongs to the group of works known as indexes. The basis for the index presented in this volume is Jacques Derrida's book Vom Geist . But far more than the content of that publication, Müller is interested in the inevitable distractions that arise during the intense reading of a book. Meticulously documented, elaborated and developed in a variety of media - from text notes to drawings and photographs to mathematical notations - the distractions integrated into the work unfold a complex web of references, categorisations and relationships that uncover structures of the digressive mind.
