My development as a human being strongly corresponds to my development as an artist. [...] In this manner, one can learn something about oneself as a human being and a personality.żMirko ReisserThe book Mirko Reisser (DAIM) 1989 ż 2014 is the most extensive publication of the artistżs oeuvre so far.
