"This publication documents the work ‘Performance for the book’, which is about the love of paper and about the feelings of frustration with regard to paper, about the making of books, the contents and the folding, the binding and the cover. The performance operates as a visual experiment to give life to paper. This documentation offers a new perspective on this work by Onghena, after the performance." --https://www.printedmatter.org/catalog/55033/

"Performance for the book was conducted for the first time on November 29th 2017 for the Margaret van Eyck/Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. Performed by Tom Elexmans, Colorama 82 White 3,55x7m and An Onghena." -- colophon
