In collaboration with the American illustrator Johan Olander, Philippe Parreno has created this
children's book. Sixteen monsters are presented, described, and illustrated. In the form of a fable written by the artist, the parade of monsters confronts the reader with figures such as Propaganda Rabbit, Beamer, Audiotron, and Reality.
Published (with a
reference monograph) on the occasion of the Philippe Parreno exhibition at Centre Pompidou, Paris, June - September 2009.
Born 1964 in Oran, Algeria, Philippe Parreno lives and works in Paris. Since the 1990s, Philippe Parreno's reputation has been built on his work's originality and on the diversity and variety of his practice. He views the exhibition as a medium, an object in its own right, an experience whose every possibility he seeks to explore. Preferring projects to objects, Philippe Parreno examines different approaches to narration and representation through film, sculpture, performance, drawing and text.
