Publisher's Synopsis
'Carman' is based on chronological iPhone notes that Ser Serpas wrote during her undergraduate studies, from July 2013 to July 2017. The title not only evokes Carmen, Georges Bizet's famous opera of love and seduction, it is also the name of Serpas's freshman-year dormitory at Columbia, where she majored in the fine arts and urban studies. This book accompanies the exhibition held at LUMA Westbau, Zürich, in 2018.
