Description

This book is a collage whose only constraint is to use fragments of existing texts and images and whose objective is to briefly suggest the outline of an imaginary novel. Derek Knight’s words precede the book project and give it a sense of direction, a traceability. Artist Shawn Serfas experiments with abstract gestures and sculptural forms on large canvases. For this book, he photographed details in some of his works. Their editor’s role was to bring the editorial process to the fore without any claim of seriousness. In part, Latitudes exemplifies the playful extent to which an editor may exercise their freedom – choosing excerpts from unrelated texts, arranging them in no order other than one fictive thread identified by chance, picking details from large paintings without contextualizing their genesis or significance in the artist’s work. In Knight’s words, this book is made of “words and images in search of coherence.”
