This book is a veritable book as a work of art. It presents a spectacular and totally innovative selection of self-portraits by one of the most important artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Roman Opalka sums up his approach as follows: "I inscribe the elementary numerical progression from 1 to infinity on canvases of the same dimensions". Then, after each work session since 1965, he has photographed himself according to the same ritual: white shirt, neutral gaze, frontal face.
It is these self-portraits that the book reproduces at the size of the original works. Opalka 1965/1 - ∞ Self-Portraits unfolds Opalka's definition of time in accordion form, offering the reader a unique objet d'art, a magnificent witness to a radical oeuvre. A usb card encased in an elegant bookmark accompanies the volume, offering listeners the author's readings of these series of numbers.
A truly unique and innovative art object, this is a prestigious book designed by the artist himself, for collectors and art lovers alike.
