Meer over het boek

“Approach the object”—the first sentence in Lotte Lyon’s book of drawings, installations, and photographs, accompanied by the words of Franz Thalmair. They quietly guide the viewer toward a willful, structured way of seeing and acting. The object on the opposite page: a plywood box with a turquoise rectangle on top. Its title: Coffee Table. The texts by Franz Thalmair give the viewers precise—overly precise—instructions on how to conduct their acts of viewing. Like Lotte Lyon’s last book, 4 Millimeter, this publication blurs what at first glance seems obvious and reduced in a viewer-friendly way; it oscillates, even if straight lines and clear colors dominate. With wit and irony, the book traces the viewing habits of art aficionados and points them in a direction that helps them see through their own game. A cheerful, complex book full of games and reflections—also perfect for the coffee table.
