Hatje Cantz Lars Eidinger Autistic Disco

He can be found on the theater stage or in front of the movie camera, in the director's chair or at the mixing desk—Lars Eidinger has many faces, and not just as an actor. His performances testify to a seemingly inexhaustible energy, with each appearance a tour de force that infects and electrifies the audience in an almost magical way. No less can be expected of his photographic work, which is compiled here for the first time in a publication. As varied as the subjects of the individual images are, they clearly reveal Eidinger's signature style: cinematic and theatrical elements come together to form an idiosyncratic rhythm that transforms everyday life into a paradoxical world. There is really only one word that fits the richness of these visual worlds and the perspective they articulate: epic.
