Tickets to the Core presents my personal universe, entirely attached to music. Concerts, operas and shows were experienced across decades in live events and at endless spots, around the world. Tickets may bear the names of virtuoso soloists and carry genius, unique composers, dead and alive, in print. This book is a passionate statement where taste and tendencies are laid bare, reaching across present and past times.

Jac Leirner (born 1961 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian sculptor and multimedia artist. She is best known for her series of works employing specific everyday materials, such as bank notes, cigarette packaging, airline paraphernalia, business cards, or items purchased in hardware stores. Her conceptually rigorous and formally beautiful works draw on a wide array of art historical and formal influences, as well as embracing the transgressive legacies of Dada, Constructivism, Pop and Conceptual Art, Arte Povera, and Punk, among others.
