For his installation in Venice he transferred the kitchen from his studio in Vienna to Venice, turning the space inside out and creating a Parapavilion. The kitchen is the space where West keeps a collection of artworks realized by assistants, friends and colleagues.
The talk between Franz West and philosopher Benedikt Ledebur revolves around Wittgenstein and Heidegger, language and space, the democracy of the ugly in art and the human need to philosophize.
