What began as a spontaneous enthusiasm for a photo turned out to be a long-lasting fascination with one of the world' s best-selling products: the Monobloc, as it is known in specialist circles. It' s the simple plastic chair that exists all over the world, as director Hauke Wendler discovered during his research trip. In November 2021, a documentary film will be released in cinemas, which is about this chair and its countless contexts. Hauke Wendler sees the piece of furniture, which is made from a single cast - hence the name - as a stand-in for stories, anecdotes and snapshots. Although the Monobloc is never the centre of attention, it is always a supporting actor and somehow "present" on all five continents the director has travelled to. The piece of furniture, of which there are supposed to be a billion copies, is as universal as hardly any other object. The photobook "Monobloc", which traces Hauke Wendler' s journey alongside the documentary film, is a declaration of love for the world' s most famous plastic chair.
HAUKE WENDLER (*1967) is a film director, writer and producer. After studying political science and history, he began working as a freelance journalist and reporter for various television stations before focusing mainly on his work as a filmmaker.
