7 Works collects recent Sierra projects realized in a range of locales--India, Mexico and Venezuela--between 2005 and 2007. It includes the controversial 21 Anthropometric Modules Made from Human Faeces by the People of Sulabh International project, for which human feces were collected in New Delhi and Jaipur, dried for three years, mixed with an agglutinative plastic and dried in molds to produce the final sculptures.

Surveying 80 of Santiago Sierra's projects undertaken between 1989 and 2004, this book includes details of his most radical project to date, where 292 tons of concrete bricks were carried to the top floor of the Kunsthaus Bregenz in order to be displayed.

At the Venice Biennale 2003, Sierra had the Spanish pavilion walled in and guarded by security personnel, who only allowed Spanish citizens with a valid passport to enter. Since then, Sierra has been one of the most frequently discussed contemporary artists in the world. His most recent project; the installation `House in mud' for the Kestnergessellschaft, links the institutions history with the history of the city of Hanover. Using the origins of Lake Masch - which was created in the middle of the city as part of a government employment program in the 1930's - Sierra addresses the question of what work is really worth, a recurring theme in his work which is especially pertinent today.

Seitdem Santiago Sierra Ende der 1980er Jahre in Hamburg studiert hat, eilt ihm der Ruf des Skandalösen voraus. Dabei macht Santiago Sierra mit seinen Arbeiten doch nur die strukturellen Mächte und deren Gewaltausübung sichtbar. Weil er in diese Strukturen interveniert, kann er aufzeigen, wie Ausbeutung und Marginalisierung funktionieren. Dabei bildet Santiago Sierra die Realität nicht einfach nur ab, sondern macht sie erfahrbar, am eigenen Leib spürbar - wie soll man es sonst verstehen, wenn er 2003 den spanischen Pavillon der 50. Biennale in Venedig durch eine Mauer versperren lässt, ein Sicherheitsdienst in seinem Auftrag den Hintereingang bewacht und nur diejenigen Besucher eingelassen werden, die spanische Ausweispapiere vorlegen können? 0Exhibition: Kunsthalle Tübingen, Germany (23.03.-16.06.2013) / Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Sammlung Falckenberg, Germany (07.09.2013-12.01.2014). 0.
