This book documents the work of the artist, costume designer and stylist Olaf Habelmann who died far too early in Spring 2011, making it accessible to a larger, international audience for the first time. Habelmann had ignored the supposed boundaries of his disciplines, combining incongruous elements from various areas and eras with objects from popular and queer culture, to form complex, subtle, highly original and often humorous collages, still lives, installations and costumes.
