"This book stands out from other art publications because it reaches beyond the isolation of the exhibiton. It returns to the process of bringing a work of art into existence, it shows the vacillations as well as the contemplations of the artist in search of his art. This book, consequently, could only be made in close collaboration with Stephan Balkenhol. The images in this book, photographs which he has taken, collected and documented over the years, tell a story of differences but also of similarities." Chris Dercon, Gosse Oosterhof
