LERTXUNDI, Laida
Daytime Noir

An artists’ book by Laida Lertxundi, released by Artspace Aotearoa on the occasion of Scores for Transformation, the third in the cycle of exhibitions that orbit the question, “where does my body belong?” Drawing on two recent 35mm films Autoficción (2020) and Inner Outer Space (2021) as well as recent works on paper, the publication explores the parameters of what it takes to run an artistic practice navigating the many facets of a full life: parenting, teaching, exhibiting, working. The full colour, hand stitched book presents us with “film stills” that come alive when we, as readers, engage with its physical form. [publishers’ note]

The book includes new writing by Laida Lertxundi, Ren Ebel, and Luna Miguel.

Bilingual (Spanish & English); edition of 100.
