This book is devoted to a reflection and the reinstallation of a single artwork, Tobias Kaspar's installation "Bodies in the Backdrop," which was conceived as a site-specific installation for Halle für Kunst in Lüneburg.
Kaspar worked with material from Peggy Guggenheim’s autobiography Confessions of an Art Addict and photographs taken at Guggenheim’s palazzo in Venice in 2011. The body of work referred to the self-portrayal of a collector and the entanglement with personal relations in the process of building a collection: love and money.
