Designed by American conceptual sculptor Cady Noland (born 1956), The Clip-On Method’s two volumes can be picked up and read in any order: back to front, front to back, or started in the middle. Readers take it upon themselves to weave their way through Noland’s tangled oeuvre.

„Ich habe ein zerstörtes Gesicht“ – das ist die Wahrheit, in der sich die Erzählerin, bevor sie zu erzählen anhebt, wiederzufinden versucht. Deshalb muss sie erzählen.

"Gewöhnlich arbeite ich hauptsächlich nachts. Nachts fällt das Licht nur auf die Leinwand. Alle anderen Objekte liegen im Schatten, und so kann ich nicht leicht abgelenkt werden. Außerdem fühle ich mich manchmal nachts wirklich wie ein Künstler, es ist ruhig, ich höre nur den Pinsel. Manchmal bekomme ich nachts das Gefühl, ein wirklich großer Maler zu sein, während im grellen Tageslicht alles sehr viel normaler ist. Nachts wachsen Phantasie und Gefühl enorm an, tags sind sie konzentrierter, nüchterner; der Tag ist realistischer. Mein Rezept für ein gutes Bild ist nachts anfangen und bei Tag es zu vollenden."

French designer Pierre Charpin (b. 1962, lives in Paris) holds a singular position within his field. He became a designer after finishing his Visual Arts studies and started to gain recognition in the mid-1990s. Articulated with a strong and liberated use of colors and materials, his creations—objects, furniture and exhibition designs—deal with the notions of landscape and autonomy, humor and surprise, poetic presence and minimalism.

An incomplete guide for life. Each person written about is represented by a letter, and when an object turns into a subject it is marked in bold.
