First published in 1986 and long out of print, Between charts Burgin’s passage from early conceptual art, via appropriationist works and critiques of mass media imagery to a series of photo-texts informed by psychoanalysis, semiotics, cinema studies and feminism. Interweaving Burgin’s visual work with fragments from interviews, talks and letters, the publication offers insights into the relation of ‘theory’ to ‘practice’ in a form of art which has undermined the basis of this distinction.

Summary:
Over the years, construction workers seem to have developed a mysterious script made with adhesive tape that is readable by only a few. What do these signs mean? Is this some sort of secret language? Or is there no meaning at all? Are things always as they seem? Visual artist and architect SerraGlia, fascinated by cities and by semiotics, decided to create an artistic and slightly ironic visual statement about these found signs. He is not seeking to reveal their absolute truth. Instead, he wants to question our perception of our surroundings.
