I like books. I like the idea of holding them and turning pages. It creates a physical experience, a personal time. The artist book is about being a book. It is about turning pages, going back and forth and controlling time and space. It is like a wall, a gallery, a frame or a video. It is a possibility to do art. Of course, most of the books are used for reading text and my text is not a traditional text because these are not words which are meant to be information.

We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them.
