Resident, or Resident Evil, or This Minor Contextualisation of a Minor Temporality Known as Publishing on the Run

Description

《Resident, or Resident Evil, or This Minor Contextualisation of a Minor Temporality Known as Publishing on the Run》的主體被審核、校對，被編輯為一部自2021年12月7日至2022年4月13日期間的書信體檔案。作為新冠疫情時旅行的特權和雙重身分不穩定性的肖像，作者展露複雜性和共謀，書寫交流在不同名義下的朋友們、僱員和合作者的無序蔓延網絡——時而在行政勞動的領域，時而反思的、激進地親密、或饒舌。該卷匯編不同短文、電子郵件通信、藝術家當時在閱讀的書籍摘錄，以及值得印刷的文獻。

The body of Resident, or Resident Evil, or This Minor Contextualisation of a Minor Temporality Known as Publishing on the Run has been reviewed, collated, and edited as an epistolary archive of the period from 7 December 2021 to 13 April 2022. As a portrait of the dual identities of precarity and privilege during pandemic-era travel, it reveals the complexities and complicities of its author, who writes under various names to a sprawling network of friends, employers, and collaborators—sometimes in the realm of administrative labour, at other times reflective, radically intimate, or chatty. The volume compiles various short writings, e-mail correspondence, excerpts from other books the artist was reading at the time, and other print-worthy documents.

Each book is wrapped with detritus paper including magazines, newspapers, circular advertising and posters collected by the artist, forming an additional portrait of the flattening of the image in contemporary society—or, covers to be judged.
