(Signed) Touch Tours by Ellen Henriette Suhrke

A collection of works by Norway-based artist Ellen Henriette Suhrke.

This book is a book version of Slücke's video work "Touch Tours," which shows a blind woman being led by a gardener as she touches various objects in a botanical garden. During the tour, touch and smell replace visual impressions, and the exploration of plants is carried out by relying on the senses of the nose and fingertips. In the book version, braille is silk-screened on each page, not only evoking a re-experience, but also transforming the reader into a participant in a tour through the invisible realm that lies between the material world of language and the world of photographic images.

Limited to 400 copies. Signed by the artist.
