Publication of Lost Worlds introduces to English-speaking readers one of the most original and engaging historians in Germany today. Known for his work in historical demography, Arthur E. Imhof here branches out into folklore, religion, anthropology, psychology, and the history of art. Imhof begins by reconstructing the world and worldview of Johannes Hooss, a farmer in a remote Hessian village. The everyday life of such a man was particular to his region; he spoke a local dialect and shared a regional culture. By exploring the various systems that made sense out of this circumscribed existence - astrology, the folklore of the seasons, and Christian interpretations of birth, confirmation, marriage, and death - Imhof expands the book into a speculation on why life in the late twentieth century can seem meaningless and difficult. Rooted in Imhof's belief that we need stability and values that transcend the individual, Lost Worlds inspires us to examine our own ways of seeing the world.

Anne Imhof confronts the brutality of our time with a hard realism. Her scenarios visualize the constitution of the body in the demarcation of material and discursive, of technological, socioeconomic, and pharmaceutical boundaries. Imhof thus reveals the space between body and reality, the space where our personality comes into being.00Exhibition: German Pavillon, Venice Biennale, Italy (13.05.-26.11.2017).
The third annual BMW Tate Live Exhibition is dedicated to artist Anne Imhof. Sex is both an exhibition by day and a series of five live works staged at night. By using this singular word title Imhof follows her previous works Angst 2016 and Faust 2017: words that evoke universal themes with wide associations for viewers. Imhof constructs atmospheric environments inhabited by groups of collaborators. For ten days and five nights, they will take over the Tanks with performances that combine music, painting and choreographed gestures. During the day, you'll be able to explore Imhof's installation of paintings, sculptures and architectural interventions for free. Then in the ticketed evening events, the spaces will come alive with music, lights and live performances.--Tate website.
