CAMNITZER, Luis
The Hole Book

A picture-book for children and adults by German-born Uruguayan conceptual artist, curator, and art critic Luis Camnitzer, The Hole Book explores the many meanings, associations and forms of holes in a delightful narrative of discovery. The book’s narrator is an explorer full of questions and curiosity: “Some holes I dug myself. I poked my finger into slices of bread, sheets of paper, and the sand of beaches all over the world.” When they grow up they become an explorer of holes, visiting caves, grottos, mineshafts, springs and cavities, making maps of their adventures. Failing to find any literature on the topic, they decided to write their own book celebrating holes. [publishers’ note]
