An illustrated and in-depth exploration of four of Rosas's early works, Fase, Rosas danst Rosas, Elena's Aria, and Bartok, through sketches, notes, and photographs

Exploring the intersection of philosophy and contemporary choreography, this book delves into the works of prominent European choreographers through the lenses of Deleuze, Spinoza, and Bergson. It addresses key issues in modern performance, offering detailed analyses of seven innovative dance pieces that exemplify these philosophical concepts in action.

What would it mean for choreography to function as an exhibition? This question drives a newly commissioned project by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, who reimagines her stage piece Vortex Temporum, set to Gérard Grisey's music, for the unique conditions of an art space. Instead of merely relocating a dance performance, De Keersmaeker transforms the choreography into a nine-week exhibition, altering the fundamental elements of dance, including its rigorous structure and language. This innovative approach highlights the complex conceptual, technical, and physical labor that underpins her work. Accompanying the exhibition is a multi-volume boxed catalogue designed to document the project throughout its duration. The first set of volumes introduces Work/Travail/Arbeid, detailing its preparation and connection to Vortex Temporum. Following the exhibition, a second set reflects on its evolution. The catalogue features a re-edited version of the original Vortex Temporum program book, photographic documentation by Babette Mangolte and Anne Van Aerschot, drawings by De Keersmaeker, and newly commissioned essays by notable writers. The exhibition took place at Wiels in Brussels, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and Tate in London.

The book Public Sphere by Performance results from a two-year research project Performance and the Public that Ana Vujanović, Bojana Cvejić and Marta Popivoda carried out in 2011 and 2012, during the residency of TkH (Walking Theory) platform (Belgrade) at Les Laboratoires d'Aubervillier. The part of the research of Marta Popivoda gave rise to the documentary film Yugoslavia: How Ideology Moved Our Collective Body
