Published by Paraguay Press with the support of the Contemporary Art Center – la synagogue de Delme, this publication is probably more an artist’s book than it is the catalogue of an exhibition. It documents Patrik Pion’s studio and notably how he displays there his “white objects”, made of folded white paper since the 1990s, and conceived in connection with the workshops in psychiatric hospitals that Pion organized during several decades. These uncanny sculptures question alienating norms through the lens of sociology and psychoanalysis: how we look at the objects in our surroundings, and how they look at us.

The books were printed in black and grey to highlight the black and white reproductions.
