For the past two decades, Gregor Hildebrandt (b. Bad Homburg, 1974; lives and works in Berlin) has transformed analog audiotapes, cassettes, and records into collages, sculptures, panel paintings, and installations. Melding visual art with music, he has charted a complex creative vision crossing boundaries of medium and genre that he continually refines. Before using a tape, he records selected music-- typically a single song-- on it, whose lyrics he quotes in the work's title. The artist's output draws on his personal repertoire of bands that share a romantic narrative of loneliness and a melancholy keynote. The same attitude toward life is reflected in Hildebrandt's work. The book offers insight into all periods of the artist's oeuvre and is rounded out by archival materials from Hildebrandt's studio, his project space Grzegorzki Shows, and the music label Grzegorzki Records that illustrate his creative process.
