I propose to take the following photographs of this book of proposals for Kiasma by Peter LIversidge whilst standing in Kiasma gallery bookshop, holding the book in my left hand and my iPhone in my right, enjoying the conceit and realisation of the book and valuing its existence but not enough in order to purchase it, reflecting that if it had been €10 and not €22.50, maybe, and feeling somewhat bad about that but not so bad that it reverses my decision, before walking away to sit down in the adjacent café and write these words in order to bolster the likelihood that I will subsequently publish this post. Although the resulting images will be too small to read at first glance, the reader will be encouraged to click through to Flickr where they can see larger versions.
I am very grateful for that. Your taking photographs and posting them – well, is that not a proposal, made and realised ? These proposals are – what might be a good word for them – lightful. Thank you.
The letter in the books are very small..I am unable to read the single word..But I had heard many things about Proposals for Kiasma, by Peter Liversidge…It is really nice book..
You can click on the images to see them larger at Flickr. And even very large if you click on magnifying glass on the Flickr images.
