Normative Models is two books in a slipcase comprised of an identical sequence of images and are only differentiated by the printed texts.

Catalogue 01/2018 contains, The Trial of Lucullus by Bertolt Brecht (English translation from 1943): and Catalogue 02/2018 includes, Applied Fantastic: On the Polish Women’s Magazine Ty I Ja by David Crowley.

These variants serve to demonstrate the complex symbiosis between image, context, and meaning.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Christopher Williams: Normative Modes at kestnergesellschaft, Hannover (5 May – 29 July 2018).
