Martin Maeller: Nervous Dust is the artist’s first monograph, published on the occasion of his 2022 solo exhibition at Kunstverein Göttingen. It offers the first comprehensive overview of Maeller’s artistic work, and features contributions from writers and other artists providing deeper insights into its themes.

Maeller’s art combines personal experiences, text, and elements of pop culture and subculture to observe subjective and collective states of alienation and belonging. Spanning a diverse array of media, including printmaking, sculpture, and installation, his practice constructs inner worlds between melancholy and loss, affection and care.

The visual and conceptual language questions the construction of identity and emphasizes the sensitivity and vulnerability inherent in it. It deciphers and maps the dark terrain of the unconscious and focuses on reclaiming personal agency.
