Vito Baumüller
Vito Baumüller is a visual artist who specializes in performance and sculpture. He is also an active actor and writer. His work includes producing various weapon-like performance objects. His models are melee weapons, ranging from spears and hand axes from the early Stone Age to spiked clubs and combat knives still in use today. These include perfidious suicide devices as well as lovingly designed tool replicas. They clearly demonstrate his approach to weapons as ordinary artistic research. Every day, Baumüller plays with objects whose primary purpose is to wound if they were not works of art. He treats the spears and hammers like his own children, indulging them accordingly. His work can be understood as a manifestation of collective, infantile, and uncompromising daydreams that bare their teeth yet cherish peace.
