{"product_id":"butter","title":"Steve Reinke. Butter","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeath and life, empathy and cruelty, sex and intimacy: these are the “big” questions Reinke is after in his work. In the best Nietzschean manner, Reinke considers human beings not political or moral entities but puppets of microbiotic agendas: Instead of the Freudian ego and id, it is bacteria, placentae, and plankton that rule the world in his more recent videos; “culture” designates not humanistic achievement but life in a petri dish. \u003cem\u003eButter\u003c\/em\u003e, the catalogue for Reinke’s 2020 show at mumok, Wien, contains not only notes on his new video \u003cem\u003eAn Arrow Pointing to a Hole\u003c\/em\u003e, but also a selection of his sinister text images and absentminded needlepoints, all of which, in a paradoxically precise manner, tell stories of loss of control, formlessness, and self-abandon.
