Publisher's Synopsis
Under the semblance of normalcy Aukje Koks' works unite art and spectator in a split dimensionality; her paintings and sculptures make us aware of the perspective from which we view things. In Ways of Being these images are being shown in tandem with informal, prosaic reports in which friends, critics and curators attribute a relationship to this reality. This book creates an awareness for the relationship between the image and its perception. It surfaces the commonality of visual categorical mistakes* and thus creates an ethical space for parallel perspectives. Very playful and tangible with the art as a thing among things, Koks stands up for a free parallelism.
