Book Launch (2019)

Video: 03m, 25s.
(Film stills viewed here - feel free to contact me to view full video).



IT WAS THREATENED THAT ALL THE BOOKS AT THE LAUNCH WOULD BE CEREMONIOUSLY BURNT IF NOT SOLD

OR THROWN INTO THE SEA ON A FULL MOON

I GET THAT IT'S SYMBOLIC

A RITUAL OF NORDIC PROPORTION

BUT IT SEEMED A WASTE

OF COURSE THERE WERE NO BOOKS LEFT TO BE DESTROYED

BECAUSE THEY FEATURED NEW WORK BY ANNE CARSON

SO THEY ALL SOLD OUT IN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES
