Summary:

"Hans-Ulrich Obrist Hear Us" is a collection of writings exploring the transgressive and transdiciplinary nature of Burns' practice. The publication is richly illustrated with material representing Burns' work across photography, performance, writing and artists' books ... "Hans-Ulrich Obrist Hear Us" also includes a first-person narrative by Burns, telling the story of his life through episodes that, although seemingly incongruous, have played a formative role in the development of the artist's career. This history, like memory, is less contiguous than spontaneous, more preoccupied with prophecies and mood swings than the sterileness of factuality. -- publisher's statement
