Published in conjunction with the exhibition “After Nature.” This unique catalogue pays tribute to the work of W.G. Sebald by repurposing existing copies of After Nature, his 1988 three-part prose poem, from which the show has borrowed its title. The catalogue consists of the original book, enriched with images that have been hand-placed between the pages, and a new foldout dust jacket. The result is a singular hybrid that is part-appropriation, part-recycled material, and informed by the artistic tradition of the found object. Essay by Massimiliano Gioni. Includes a complete checklist of works in the exhibition and twenty-five full-color images from an international and multigenerational group of contemporary artists, filmmakers, writers, and outsiders.
