Using everyday objects, the painting concept artist Christoph Hänsli devotes himself to the major themes of human existence in extensive series of paintings. Scientific meticulousness and a sense of order combine with painterly freedom and a fine sense of humour.

This monograph is the first comprehensive overview of Hänsli's work as a painter over the past 25 years. In addition to an extensive picture section with over 800 illustrations, the volume contains three essays that illuminate the work from different perspectives.
