Condition:	NEW

An artist's book and a solitary walk through the exhibition The System of Objects, this publication consists of two slipcased paperback books that represent Dakis Joannou's imaginative, inspirational and unexpected collection of objects, art works, props and unusual architectural elements. With an unprecedented combination of open areas, gangways, cages, black holes and dead ends, The System of Objects is experienced by visitors as a labyrinth and a revelation. The installation itself represents an original experience due to the several structural modifications on the building, making it a consistent and relevant part of the general concept of the project and empowering the presence of the pieces. The System of Objects is a straight and complex representation of the restless, constantly growing, visionary approach of a collector and his inventiveness.
