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","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57198642823550,"sku":"NW9781954939035","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781954939035.jpg?v=1778537453","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/aki-sasamoto-point-reflection","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
