Extensions - Andrzej Steinbach

This artist’s book centers on Andrzej Steinbach’s eighteen-part photographic series Erweiterungen (Extensions) from 2024. In rooms characterized by no-nonsense staging, we encounter a figure who shows us items of technology, tools, and everyday objects. The images engender relationships between bodies and things, displacing familiar ascriptions. Erweiterungen continues a sequence of works in which Steinbach uses a photographic setting, combining elements of enactment and the case study, to investigate social roles and the gestures and codes associated with them.
