Recenzje

The book presents and discusses a substantial body of work arising from the author's own "architectural art practice", defined as "a mode of having knowledge through the figure of non-construction". Eclectic in its sources of inspiration, the research draws on a wide range of art, theatrical, cinematographic, documentation and curatorial practices, as well as theory, most prominently that of Georges Bataille and Walter Benjamin. The shift from studying one's own practice to the practice of studying as one's own practice is a deft move and is explored successfully through some of the filmed investigations of the habitus - architecture, furniture and choreography - of studying per se.
