Description: This Formless Thing', published in conjunction with an exhibition of work by Swiss artist Alexandra Navratil at Kunstmuseum Winterthur and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, alludes to the materials and artificial substances from which images are made. Besides enchanting film stills and numerous images appealing to an industrial design aesthetic, the book includes six referential text contributions by Simona Ciuccio, Esther Leslie, Matthew Solomon, Mirjam Varadinis, Jelena Rakin and Natasha Ginwala, which serve to illuminate a series of five thematically complementary works by Navratil. A conversation with the artist by Jennifer Burris completes the volume.
