Austrian artist Franz Bergmüller, a spiritual grandson of Karl Valentin, is the creator of funny machines shown off as interactive photo images and often he himself appears as an actor as iconic figure in these plays. Bergmüller's surprising surrealistic sceneries have this well tempered dadaistic mood in meditating on existentialistic questions on what the world keeps moving - straight flat jokes with good deadpan humor and a double bottom. Bergmüller focuses on the studio as the mythic place of inspiration and production. The book is a journey through this space in 50 images, of course meetings with works of the artist are included.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
