The texts assembled in this book began their formation during Charlotte Moth’s residency in Bleckede in 2009. Founded on the basic principle to comment and react on events, images, or situations, different artists, writers, and curators have since then been invited to respond on material chosen by Charlotte Moth. The book collects a selection of those responses that have recently been part of the artist’s projects or are yet to become a part of it. Taking these different approaches of collaborative praxis as a starting point, Charlotte Moth conceived this book as a further elaboration of her artistic practice, linking different projects that have been realized since 2009.

This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition “The Absent Forms” at Halle für Kunst, Lüneburg, from September 4 to October 17, 2010.
