Artist's book.
This artist’s book, conceived by Doug Aitken, is based on a surrealistic scenario: a man traveling all the time is dematerializing himself. He takes the form of the room he is living in. Produced as a film, with a main contribution of Udo Kier, the publication itself takes the shape of a man’s head. The images are accompanied by a text by the artist.
Doug Aitken (born 1968 in Redondo Beach, California, lives in Los Angeles) is an American artist and filmmaker. Utilizing a wide array of artistic approaches from sculpture, film, and installation to architectural intervention, Aitken's immersive works lead us into a world where time, space, and memory are fluid concepts, and experience is key. Aitken earned the International Prize at the Venice Biennale in 1999 for his installation, electric earth.
