Trace

A series of performance works.


Nude Before A Mirror/Nude Against the LightA poetic prose text emerged while developing Trace. I published two corresponding books, loosely interweaving texts in a labyrinthine way: one in the performer’s first person; the other in the viewer’s third person. Matching pale blue paper was chosen to represent the central elements of water and melancholy, with transparent, embossed cover titles.

Handmade unique pair of books, 1994
