More about the book

"Anu Tuominen is definitely the most genuine Levi-Straussian bricoleur that I have ever come across in contemporary art. Her myriad flea-market finds are accumulated, combined, transformed, lined up, concatenated and classified into all areas of our everyday visual world. In addition to the image, she also address language, visual idiom and metaphor. Where is the cat in the catkin? Tuominen's works present an endless array of parallels, analogies, continuums and hierarchies. She transposes the image into words and the word into images, the public into things private, and the private into the public." - Otso Kantokorpi
