Handle with Care

Japanese artist Soh Souen creates paintings, installations, and performances in which she examines the events of our lives through our relationship with our bodies. In order to poetically express the thoughts that go into ephemeral, formless performance as printed matter, the book is composed of video stills and photographs of her various works, together with relevant notes and related drawings. Everything is composed in such a way that these different elements are gently connected and respond to each other. Thus guided by images and words, the book traces Souen’s thinking as she explores fundamental questions through physicality.
