First monographic publication devoted to the work of this British performance artist who recently held a solo show at the Witte de With in Rotterdam. Rather than separate pages, the book cover holds a folded paper that, on one side, reproduces a performatively made silk-screen of the artist's body, and, on the other, a compilation of texts by critic Sally O'Reilly, alongside production stills of said silkscreen. Collectively titled, "A Litany of Stoppages", her selection of texts by novelists, philosophers, journalists and humorists offer insights into Hunt's far-reaching encounters with the romantic image of the artist, performance anxiety and our cultural fascinations with physical duress.
