The artist book in fugue, which was produced for the exhibition of the same name at the Kunstverein Hannover, is the first comprehensive publication on the artist Isabel Nuño de Buen. The book develops a parallel narrative to the exhibition by presenting the works through a subjective cataloguing system that corresponds to the central elements of her practice: intuition, improvisation and process-based thinking between drawing, sculpture and installation. Exhibition views are combined with a re-imagination of the works within the space of the book, bringing together photographic reproductions with drawing and colour. The stitch binding technique of the book was specially developed and is partly handmade by the artist. The publication provides a profound insight into the artist’s multi-layered oeuvre, which oscillates between sculpture, installation, and drawing and focuses on a fascinating subjective world of forms and thoughts.
