Known for his series Mortadella—332 small paintings of life-size sausage slices—Swiss artist Christoph Hänsli (born 1963) paints trivial objects such as screws, light switches and beer glasses, to reflect on human mortality. This monograph presents the first comprehensive survey of Hänsli’s paintings from the past 25 years.
