"‘werkboek’ is an artist book and collaborative project between An Onghena and Jivan van der Ende that combines the playful, impulsive, and detail-oriented qualities of both their practices. Starting from video registrations of the two artists working their way through books, the publication shows the hands of Onghena touching and folding the paper. In this way the publication shows the relation between the hands of the reader and the paper, and could even function as an instructive guide to its reader(s).
werkboek was launched on 14.10.2021 at Ein Buch Haus, Berlin (DU) and 23.10.2021 at Studio Omstand, Anrhem (NL)." --https://jivanvanderende.com/werkboek

The publication is a landscape that the artists have created for you, and by becoming both a reader and a spectator, you are invited to go for a walk through the presented scenery. You are the traveler, the wanderer, the discoverer, moving through the pages out of which this landscape is built. (…)” -- Hands Turning Pages (touching me, touching you) by Joyce Poots, insert
