M+M: Collateral Profit Published by Verlag für moderne Kunst. Edited by Ludger Derenthal. Essays by Susanne Ehrenfried, Susanne Gaensheimer, Helmut Krausser, Susanne Meyer-Bser, Andreas Neumeister, Renate Puvogel, Bernhart Schwenk, Wolfgang Ullrich, Martina Weinhart, Ludger Derenthal, Susanne Ehrenfried, et al. M+M, a collaboration by German artists Mark Weis and Martin De Mattia, have more in common with The Matrix than with the famous candies. Their Baudrillard-based work in photography, video and conceptual art, surveyed here over the past 10 years, tracks a growing disintegration of reality and identity through the influence of mass media, with a humorous wink at our collective insecurity about it.
