Summary:
The subject of Dissections is the mechanization of man. The book which accompanies the exhibition dissects photographically four metaphorical machines which have themselves been dissected. The project is a not a sequential narrative, but a series of brief notes, sometimes closely or sometimes distantly associated with the images gathered under the title Dissections . The hero is the mythic figure of Descartes' Clown ; a neurotic and insecure robot, though also intuitive, inquisitive and courageous. The clown undertakes an auto-autopsy hoping to find his organ of existence. The robot, like Descartes, needs to prove that he actually exists.

Libraries are generally perceived as storehouses, spaces of neutral accumulation and containment. While the architecture may attempt to operate in this stable mode, the material contained within them is often far wilder.

Summary:
Libraries are generally perceived as storehouses, spaces of neutral accumulation and containment. While the architecture may attempt to operate in this stable mode, the material contained within them is often far wilder. Histories, biographies, loose thoughts, and detailed notations are temporarily suspended, cataloged, and organized, creating relationships where perhaps previously there were none. The trajectory of the Staatsbibliothek Berlin exposes the tension between what is contained in libraries and how it is contained in a highly palpable way. This new artist book charts three narratives associated with the life of this particular library.
