About The Work
One of the most outstanding German artists of his generation, Manfred Pernice is known for anti-monumental work. Reflecting on the complex relationship between sculpture, visual art, architecture, city-building and human stories of time and place, Pernice creates objects and sculptures that suggest themselves as already existing in everyday life, formed of a language that is distinctively recognizable.
The screen-printed imagery in Tuttilino was collated from a number of local sources during Pernice’s time in Dundee, Scotland, including the nearby Kirkcaldy Museum which catalogues the linoleum industry. Local company Michael Nairn & Co. was at one time the largest producers of linoleum in the world. One image is of the Nairn factory in the 1940s when the building was used to produce bombs. The monotype foreground déjàVu motif is unique to each print – the blurring of the inks depicting a failed photograph taken by Pernice of a staircase winding around a can-kiosk in Berlin.
