Installation of publications
Commissioned by How to reappear (Beirut Art Center, Beirut)
Ten years ago, artist-curator Bernhard Cella launched an open call for books without ISBN numbers for his exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. He produced several installations with the books he received, as well as an online platform and book register. In the Arab world edition of the project, the response to the call for regional publications without ISBN numbers explores a new, yet growing, trend within book production, as well as electronic alternatives to publishing and readership.
