Annelies Van Hullebusch is an artist who writes, draws, photographs, interviews and performs. I had the pleasure of working with her on an artist book for her latest tactile performance BOEK-STEEN-PAPIER, where each audience member holds the book in their hands. What they see and read in the book reflects and interacts with what happens on the stage.
The performance and book are made up of five ‘milestones’: events that have determined, influenced and enriched Annelies’ life. Each chapter starts from a personal experience, but zooms out to a universal story about strength and conviction.
BOEK-STEEN-PAPIER has an open spine with a yellow thread. The chapters are divided and characterised by pastel-coloured papers from the Papyrus Rainbow range: light yellow, salmon, light blue, light green and violet.
One of the chapters from the performance book was self-published by Annelies as an audio zine entitled ALFONSINA, you can buy it here: www.anneliesvanhullebusch.be/hoorzine-alfonsina. The front and back cover are pastel blue and it’s bound with a dark blue thread.
You can still catch the performance BOEK-STEEN-PAPIER on March 30th (in Tilburg, The Netherlands) and on May 14th (in Deinze, Belgium).
Writings and drawings by . Book design and print management by me. Printed and bound by .capitan_the.coprinting.co with papers by (Nautilus Classic White, 100% post-consumer recycled paper) and (Rainbow range).
