Kundry (Paperback)
By Antoine Wagner

Antoine Wagner is a French-American artist. He works between Woodstock, NY, and Paris. Through a visual language drawn from nature, his work references music, mythology, romanticism, and the sublime.

Wagner’s multifaceted practice forces the audience to communicate with nature. Abstract, unseen anthropomorphic shapes found in nature and minerals are the main actors of this world of mythologies and cyclical redundancies. Through different media and projects, the artist examines the themes of identity, geography and spirituality and offers to the viewer an escape from traditional geographic and artistic boundaries.

Featured on the cover of Kundry is the artist’s photo of a rocky outcropping. This same rock formation was the inspiration for Patrice Chéreau’s scenic design in his Bayreuth production of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen.

Text is in English and French.
