The publication analyzes spatial emotion in contemporary art and architecture and maps its extremes and multiple overtones. It contains essays by Anthony Vidler on the relation between psychoanalysis and the perception of space, Mark Wigley on insecurity and design, Philippe Rahm on the emotional conditioning of space construction, and Stephen Willats on living conditions in social housing. Featuring works by such artists as Monica Bonvicini, Christoph Buchel, Jan Dibbets, Urs Fischer, H R Giger, Katarzyna Jozefowicz, Anish Kapoor, Daniel Liebeskind, Jane and Louise Wilson, Paul Noble, Gordon Matta-Clark, Paul Thek, Monika Sosnowska, and Decosterd & Rahm, the anthology also provides a visual survey of these topics in contemporary art. Designed by Norm, the book was distinguished in "The Most Beautiful Swiss Books" competition in 2003. It was published on the occasion of the exhibition by the Migros Museum fur Gegenwartskunst, Zurich, and Laznia Center for Contemporary Art, Gdansk.
