This work grew out of a performance piece undertaken by Abramović in Studio Stefania Miscetti, an Italian art gallery, where the artist used pig’s blood to write “recipes” on the walls of the gallery. As with Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit, the recipes take the form of instructions, such as “look in the mirror / for as long as it is necessary / for your face to disappear / don’t eat the light.” In the gallery, each recipe was accompanied with a small icon painted with blood.
The work offered here contains all of the recipes, letterpress printed, and each is accompanied by an etching with aquatint. There are twelve works in all organized as a portfolio in a clamshell box.
This edition is limited to 21 copies of which numbers 1-8 are bound as books and numbers 10-21 are boxed portfolios. This copy in Number 10.
