Susan Philipsz is one of the internationally most renowned contemporary artists. Her art explores the boundaries between sculpture and sound, between materiality and immateriality. Her works frequently react to the places where her exhibitions are staged, connecting to past events and creating spaces of resonance for memories and emotions.
This is a polyphonic book. On the one hand, it follows the movement of a tracking shot through Susan Philips' exhibition at fjk3 – Contemporary Art Space. On the other hand, views of the exhibited artworks are juxtaposed with historical documentary material that provides insights into the artist's thought processes and research work.
"Themes such as movement, separation, and absence are merged with processes such as reflection and projection to create an ensemble of works that explores the architecture of a specific space, engages with its history and unique environment, and seeks to awaken in the viewer an awareness of all these elements in the present moment." (Susan Philipsz, May 2024)
