The catalog shows Bader's practice, which is based on the inclusion of different elements - consuming objects, words, images, animals, persons - that generate concrete, imaginary, real and fictional relations. He removes meaning, yet adds new levels of understanding to works, objects, and (possible, or often impossible) descriptions, and manages to lend an original twist to a practice whose meaning can be sought in the carefully arranged inclusion of all the components of the art system: the work, the artist, the gallery owner, the collector, the exhibition visitor and readers of art texts.
