NON by Paulien Oltheten

An artist book by Dutch artist Paulien Oltheten.

Inspired by a piece of graffiti discovered in Les Olympiades, a neighbourhood in Paris’s 13th arrondissement, this book unfolds as a printed work combining photographs and audio recordings. Passersby—anonymous figures in the urban landscape—assign new meaning to the word “non.”

By playfully exploring what happens when this compact utterance is lifted from a concrete wall and begins to move freely between the realms of society and politics, Oltheten offers a poetic and critical reflection on everyday resistance.
