All Words and One by Mark Manders

An artist book by Dutch artist Mark Manders.

“This book is about the word ‘Skiapod’. What began as a project to take one word from all the existing words and expand and change its meaning turned into a fascinating journey through human history and the strange human mind. From cave paintings to faxes, Malevich to Guston, readers will witness an idea travelling through different eras, crystallising in different artists’ minds and becoming fixed in different media. Why do we need to create images and meanings? What are we trying to grasp by making images of mythical figures? Why do we need to do this? And where can we find truth in the different chapters of this book? Does this book have something to say about all other words too? Shall we start making other books about other words? And what are those exact words printed in blue on the cover of this book?”— Mark Manders
