The imagery in this book, which revolves around radial shapes and concepts, also forms the basis of a video work in the exhibition. Specific for the book is the use of two separate layers of black ink, allowing Suter to create double images and to merge patterns and screens. Departing from pages scanned from her collection of second hand tomes--mainly concerning natural science, precision machinery, and art history--Suter freely manipulates them and reorders them within the space of a book, which can be seen as a condensed exhibition on paper. The result is a journey along visual phenomena that reconnects us with the endless curiosity and patience of our younger selves leafing through an encyclopedia, unattended and unable to read, yet all the more sensitive to its inner visual rhymes and correspondences. With a text by Henri Michaux from 1968 [in English translation and French].

This volume is published on the occasion of Batia Suter?s exhibition at the Mauvoisin Dam in Switzerland. Suter focuses on her ever-expanding archive of scanned landscape images, which has already played an important role in her earlier publications. Many of the images depict wastelands, alternating between romantic and menacing views which create simultaneous sensations of majesty and disorientation. Through layering, a variety of disparate geological and biological environments merge into composite, dreamlike landscapes in a kind of adventurous journey. The book?s title is derived from the term ?Hexameter?, a poetic form of writing used in Homer?s ?Odyssey?. 00Exhibition: Musée de Bagnes & Mauvoisin Dam, Verbier, Switzerland (15.06.-29.09.2019).

Surface Series - created by Batia Suter between 2008 and 2011 - contains images and fragments from other books. The recurrent use of photographic images is a common denominator in the work of Suter. Since the 1990s she makes use of enlarged photographic images to cover entire walls of exhibition spaces, exploring trompe loeil effects and the relationship between the inside and outside of those spaces. In the same way she makes her books, like specific exhibitions on paper.

Over a six-year period, Anton Kusters researched and photographed a blue sky at the last known location of every former nazi Germany SS concentration camp and killing center across Europe. More than half of these 1078 sites have no visual remains today. Every photograph is manually blind-stamped with the number of victims beneath that sky, as well as its gps coordinates. The artist's upwards viewpoint reflects upon the difficulty of representing trauma and commemoration, and is a confrontation of how we see, and how we choose to remember.

This is How it Happened is an artist's book dedicated to a body of comic watercolor works made by the artist Amelie von Wulffen. She paints a bucolic world inhabited by fruits, vegetables, sausages, tools and paintbrushes, recalling the traditional genre of children's books. But the series's enchanting style belies its deeply serious themes--isolation and violence, discipline and failure, trauma and humiliation.
