Richly illustrated catalogue of the new Cosima von Bonin exhibition at the Schirn, in which the artist juxtaposes recent works never shown in Germany before with familiar pieces. Cosima von Bonin creates transformations of the everyday, drawing on numerous references from pop culture, film, fashion, music and art. In her installations, exhausted soft toys, soft fences, rockets and textile images or cartoon figures like Daffy Duck or Bambi populate the space. On view are sculptures, installations, performances, and a selection of her characteristic “Lappen.”

For the catalogue, Katharina Dohm introduces the exhibition, Diedrich Diederichsen illuminates the toy with its various parameters, Clara Drechsler gets to the bottom of the figure of Daffy Duck and its connections to Cosima von Bonin.
