Meer over het boek

Making a start is actually the most difficult part. Once you've started, everything else is manageable, or else it isn't, but at least you've overcome the crucial hurdle." (Sophie Thun)00The artist's book SECESSION that Sophie Thun has designed in connection with the exhibition adds to this appeal to the viewer to understand artistic practice through a production-aesthetic lens rather than focus on the finished work alone. Dozens of test strips, a byproduct of her labor in the darkroom, and a notebook containing technical information document the tentative character of her process, giving the viewer a sense of how she arrives at creative decisions - while also bearing witness to the all-important question: How to begin...?00Exhibition: Secession, Vienna, Austria (30.04. - 21.06.2020).
