Synopsis

This slim artist's book in a limited numbered edition of 500 comes from MARK, a Bremen-based collective of five artists known for conducting investigations into banal, seemingly common, everyday events. In Montreal, in 2008, Mark went to a photo studio to take a photograph of themselves by recording the photographer's directions. They then transcribed the recording and rearranged it into a WE LEFT THE WARM STABLE AND ENTERED THE LATEX VOID (WLTWSAETLV). The same text is also the subject matter of this book. Mark explains its approach, saying, "We hold a sensitive position within the system. Between the inside and outside, between art and the everyday, between objects and transient actions, between entering and leaving."
