At the hour of tea is a collection of stills from Paul Sietsema’s most recent 16 mm film of the same title. A filmic space develops within pages of the book, moving through and layering the film’s imagery—tableaux of objects—via a system of cut portals and transparent screenlike pages.

Published on the occasion of his solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel (June–August 2012), this publication includes interviews and images of the work of the Los Angeles-based artist Paul Sietsema.
