Literary synopsis

An incomplete guide for life. The content of these pages has been modified numerous times. Notes have been taken, ideas rewritten, and the one who survives is intended to bear the most essential guidelines and wisdoms in life. The form of life coaching described in this book won’t lead the reader to social recognition or financial success. If one of the two occurs after reading this text, it is a coincidence. This book aims to expose the owners of an innocent heart to reality’s true structures and to utilize them for spiritual growth so their soul and body evaporate into the abstract. This book was written from the middle. Every person is represented by a letter, and when a word turns to a subject, it is marked in bold.

Relation of the novel to the artist’s practice

The novel is published on the occasion of the exhibition Keren Cytter Selection 2016 at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
