Description: "Challenging European cultural conventions, the work of Swiss-Bolivian artist Carmen Perrin is infused with fine undertones and references to her Latin American roots. In her preference for industrial mass-produced materials she transposes electric wire, cables and building materials into a subtle, ambiguous imagery and sculptures which activate the surrounding space." "This publication presents 15 of her most important art-in-architecture interventions: in the Zurich headquarters of the Swiss National Bank; the Dock Midfield Terminal of Zurich-Kloten Airport; Lucerne's Gynaecological Hospital and further projects in France, Brazil, USA (New York) and Switzerland."--Jacket.
