Performance for the book

This book is a documentation of a performance directed by An Onghena and performed by Tom Elexmans, presented on 29 November 2017 at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht.

This publication documents the work ‘Performance for the book’, which is about the love of paper and about the feelings of frustration with regard to paper, about the making of books, the contents and the folding, the binding and the cover.

The performance operates as a visual experiment to give life to paper. This documentation offers a new perspective on this work by Onghena, after the performance.
