Conceived as an artist's book, \u003ci\u003ePoint Reflection\u003c\/i\u003e centers on Sasamoto's major installation \u003ci\u003eSink or Float\u003c\/i\u003e, first presented at the 2022 Venice Biennale. Building on the artist's idiosyncratic research into snail shell chirality--the direction in which the shell coils--as a cypher for thinking through questions of change, aging, (non)normativity, vulnerability and natural processes, \u003ci\u003ePoint Reflection\u003c\/i\u003e brings together the diagrammatic visions, narrative experimentation, structured improvisations and stream-of-consciousness monologues characteristic of her performances and installations. The book features writing and drawings by Sasamoto, a critical essay by Lumi Tan, interviews with biologists conducted by the artist and an afterword by Queens Museum curator Hitomi Iwasaki.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.4 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 27, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42726080708671,"sku":"9781954939035","price":35.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/38fe50dce41f94d4874e5d8ec1b21a88.webp?v=1765109162","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/aki-sasamoto-point-reflection-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
