Hardback. Condición: Near fine. First Edition. 30 x 23cm. Oblong hardcover in illustrated boards, 132pp. Fully illustrated. In English and Italian with some Sanskrit. A photographic and conceptual meditation on ritual and spirituality, specifically in India: Hindu rites of passage, initiatory dances, fire walks, etc. Contains numerous essays and an interview between the artist and Klaus Ottmann. Laib writes: "a long story lies behind the genesis of this event [held at the Fondazione Merz from 9 April to 7 June 2009]. For Documenta 1987, Mario Merz invited me to exhibit a vase of pollen on a spiral table. That was the beginning of a beautiful and very precious friendship between two artists with, ?I believe, different lives, different ages, but sometimes a very similar way of looking. We were both fascinated, something that has much enriched our lives. So, it will be much more than an exhibition of different objects and works; not an exhibition for an individual artist, it will concern the whole world, the universe and also our very existence. I have had this dream for the whole of my life, since when I tried to be a doctor, realising very quickly that that meant only dealing with the physical body, whereas our life and existence cannot be reduced simply to matter." Very good condition.
