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 This book reveals a selection of previously unpublished black and white photographs and gives an insight into the places, people and things that capture Wyn Evans’ imagination.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.
