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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aki Sasamoto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1954939035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954939035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Aki Sasamoto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44919790764287,"sku":"9781954939035","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_155ca688-245f-4d79-8137-f0b35f59ed2c.jpg?v=1710359432","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aki-sasamoto-aki-sasamoto-9781954939035","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
