Serpentine is delighted to present this publication on the occasion of the exhibition  Cerith Wyn Evans at the Serpentine North Gallery. 

Photography is a daily activity for Wyn Evans, and this publication is the first to focus solely on this important and fascinating element of his practice. This book reveals a selection of previously unpublished black and white photographs and gives an insight into the places, people and things that capture Wyn Evans’ imagination. This artists’ book is accompanied by an insert which includes a foreword by Serpentine Galleries directors Julia Peyton-Jones and Hans Ulrich Obrist and two extraordinary commissioned texts; a poetic and playful response to Wyn Evans’ photographs by philosopher and poet Hélène Cixous; and an Abécédaire co-written by Wyn Evans and philosopher Alexander García Düttmann.

Cerith Wyn Evans (b. 1958 in Llanelli, Wales) is a Welsh conceptual artist, sculptor and film-maker. In 2018 he won the Hepworth Prize for Sculpture. Evans began his career as a film and video maker, producing short experimental films in the late 1970s. Since the 1990s, his work has been characterised by its focus on language and its articulation in space through perception, as well as a precise, conceptual clarity that is often developed out of the context or history of the exhibition site. For Wyn Evans, installations should work like a catalyst, a reservoir of possible meanings that can unravel many discursive journeys. His work has a highly refined aesthetic that is often informed by his magpie-like approach to influences, which shape and colour his practice.
