Not only does this book take you through the works of this artist, but it also takes you through their life.

The book is brilliantly assembled to evoke the mindset and focus of an artist whose scope and execution are beyond our immediate comprehension. From our initial reaction to the repetition of the documentation, we eventually translate that to the temporal space that these works occupied.

This book is a giddy delight and will not dissapoint anyone who has been intruiged by any of Tehching Hsiesh's works. Highly recommended for anyone who likes the intersections of conceptual art and performance art. Think of the early works of Chris Burden, but stretched out a thousand times in length.
