The present monograph WORK, LIFE, BALANCE focuses on artistic works by David Renggli from 2006 until today - with no claim to the completeness of a list of works, but most certainly with -respect for the striking heterogeneity inherent to the oeuvre of the Swiss artist and musician. It -offers a broad overview of the oeuvre and provides informative impres-sions of the slyly dandy-like self-stagings of the artist. Should his works be under-stood merely as odes to hedonism? Not at all! With his works, David Renggli revives highly -diverse clichés of adamant desire and idyllic -imaginings, only to confront them in a subtle, -sensitive manner with their own deconstructions. With a vigorous wink of the eyes, he adopts an -ironical perspective with regard to ideals of beauty and the cult of physical allure, not hesitating to -critique the urge to self-optimi-sation and the -egocentricity of self-infatuation. As a Neo--Dadaist, David Renggli remains unswervingly -devoted to the free play of art - and also of music: My favourite instrument? Snare drum.
