Lot Essay

‘Maybe you can compare what I am doing to writing a song. You take what surrounds you and bothers you and put it in a song... [it] sounds super romantic but that’s what makes me do things’ (M. Sailstorfer, quoted in Michael Sailstorfer: Every Piece is a New Problem, Contemporary Arts Center, September-March 2014, reproduced at https://contemporaryartscenter.org/files/ learn/michaelsailstorferbrochure-web.pdf).
