Color video – The video shows cover and all the illustrations from the artist’s publication “No Drawing No Cry.”
Sven Sachsalber’s publication is based on Martin Kippenberger’s concept of “No Drawing No Cry.” Sachsalber took this book, which originally contained only blank hotel stationery, and added his own drawings on each page. The collection includes a total of 222 drawings, created on the original hotel stationery. In this way, Sachsalber creates a new, personal interpretation of Kippenberger’s work, expanding the original idea into a new artistic expression.
