This book brings together Bernhard Rüdiger's theoretical texts on the questions of language and form in contemporary art, seen from the perspective of the possibility of thinking them within the paradigm of shock or awe.
Bernhard Rüdiger (born 1964 in Rome, lives and works in Paris since 1994) is an artist, sculptor, theoretician and initiator in the 90s of the artists' collective Lo Spazio di Via Lazzaro Palazzi in Milan.
