Texts by Rosa Barba, Manuel Borja-Villel, Giuliana Bruno, Joan Jonas, Elisabeth Lebovici and Roberta Tenconi. On the occasion of the exhibitions at Malmö Konsthall, 18.02.2017-14.05.2017, and Fondazione HangarBicocca, Milan, 05.05.2017-08.10.2017.

English text and italian translation. The monograph is an entrancing account of the main motives that drive the artist's practice, underscoring the context in which the artworks are presented at both architectural and conceptual levels. Besides numerous films, sculptures, and works composed of light, the catalogue accompanying the exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, and other recent exhibition venues, also features the new 35mm film From Source to Poem from 2016 for the first time in Italy. Hundreds of images from historical archives in the United States evolve into a kind of collage of the cultural legacy of a Western civilization in the twentieth century. 304 Seiten mit 129 Abb., gebunden (Hatje Cantz Verlag 2017) leicht bestoßen/near bumped
