M04: VITRINE CHAIR Book by Elysia Vandenbussche
Signed and numbered by the artist. M04: VITRINE CHAIR is a hand-made book featuring 40 photographs of the Vitrine Chair, alongside creative writing that includes a 38-page interview by Elysia in dialogue with the Vitrine Chair. This approach of experimental writing became a tool for reflection that offers an intimate vignette into a multifaceted art practice that explores the object, materials, relations, time, memory, and the self. This work began with a question, “Do I hold the object or does the object hold me?,” and ends in a question, leaving gaps for the reader’s own thoughts to arise. The book dances on the edges of our desire to transform, evolve, and be held.
