Martin Kippenberger’s edition Watch Yourself into the Show (male and female) is a witty, conceptual work made for documenta X.
By turning everyday objects into art, Kippenberger blurs the line between participation and performance, suggesting that simply being present is a form of self-display in the art world. Both playful and critical, the work reflects his ongoing interrogation of authorship, visibility, and the spectacle of contemporary art.
