The collaboration between J. G. Thirlwell (Foetus) and Fred Bigot (Electronicat).

This fully illustrated book features for the first time the wide range of Bless' activity and documents a unique mode of cultural production.

Visually expanding on the art world's tendency to see the world through the prism of modern and contemporary art, the book depicts some 200 images of found or researched situations taken “after” an artist's work – occupied realities that are, one might say, signed by the artists.
