About the piece

Joseph Beuys Studio WERK (2021) is part of Berend Strik's Decipheringthe Artist's Mind series, documenting the legacy of Joseph Beuys(1921–1986) — one of the most influential figures in 20th-century art, knownfor his concept of "social sculpture" and his belief that art couldtransform society.

Strik visited Beuys's former studio spaces and photographed them, thentransformed the images through his signature stitching technique. As FonsWelters notes: "In Deciphering the Artist's Mind, Beuys comes and goes2 Strik combines Beuys's first and last studio and shows us what remainedhidden and elusive."
