Man as house

This artist’s book, conceived by Doug Aitken, is based on a surrealistic scenario: a man traveling all the time is dematerializing himself. He takes the form of the room he is living in. Produced as a film, with a main contribution of Udo Kier, the publication itself takes the shape of a man’s head. The images are accompanied by a text by the artist.

Doug Aitken (*1968) lives and works in Los Angeles.

This project is realized on the occasion of his solo exhibition at the Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris in autumn 2005.
