The publication Schlüpfendes Krokodil is a research and observation project in which the Swiss artist Johanna Bossart explores the Zurich sculptor Uli Schoop (1903-1990) through photography and archives. Multi-faceted material reveals Bossart's creative process, incorporating archival research alongside excerpts from her correspondence with archives and museums, personal notes, letters, and photographs. A conversation between Bossart and Bernadette Fülscher, which focuses on art in public space, and a text by Michael Hiltbrunner, examining the role of archives, further expand the book's themes. With Schlüpfendes Krokodil, Bossart revives Schoop's often overlooked work while at the same time presenting her own artistic creation.
