About this book

Published on the occasion of an exhibition at Collezione Maramotti centring on the installation piece "Isolated Bathroom / Composition with Four Colors" by Dutch artist Mark Manders, this book comprises a lengthy series of black-and-white photographs from behind the scenes and of the artist's working environment, together with his creative process. In a special insert, Manders explains his thoughts on the piece, which Mario Diacono then further analyses in detail, discussing the spatial and semantic hierarchy of elements, its triggering of multiple associations, and relationship with Manders' entire body of work, extending from "Self-portrait as a building", begun in 1986. Exhibition: Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, Italy (09.03-28.09.2014).
