"Reading a book is both a physical and a mental activity. It is like walking through a house, following the layout of the rooms with your body and mind: the movement from one room to another, or from one part of the book to another, constitutes an experiential narrative that is physical and conscious at the same time."—Olafur Eliasson. Your House. New York: Library Council of the Museum of Modern Art, 2006. Comprising 454 leaves, 452 of which are laser-cut. Oblong folio (292 by 450 mm). Blue cloth; original blind-stamped board box. Prospectus and white gloves included. Fine. One of 225 copies. Signed by Eliasson in the colophon. The computer-aided laser-cut leaves form a sculpture in negative space of the artist's own house in Copenhagen: "an extraordinary, disorienting illusion of an inhabitable, portable home" (prospectus). Each leaf corresponds to 2.2 centimeters of the actual house. The edition is out of print. See illustration.
