Saâdane Afif’s illustrated monograph, titled Technical Specifications builds upon Afif’s eponymous exhibition at Witte de With and explores his multiform practice to date.

The book also features a CD recording of 53:56 & some words, the radio program created as an integral part of the Witte de With exhibition and broadcast across the Netherlands throughout the summer.

The two writers, Daniel Baumann and Ina Blom, who were invited to respond to the exhibition have evoked the way in which Afif’s practice is reminiscent of a hall of mirrors: self-reflexive to the point of Narcissism, whilst at the same time exemplary of an openness and intellectual generosity that is rarely seen in contemporary art.
