When contemporary fiction meets art.
Commissioned by the DESTE Foundation, a member of the FACE Association (Foundation of Arts for a Contemporary Europe), Aristide Antonas, a renowned Greek author, drew his inspiration from Franz Kafka's short story "Investigations of a Dog" (1922) to write "The Two Rooms." This short story also echoes the artworks—reproduced in the book—by the 36 international artists of the touring exhibition "Investigations of a Dog" organized by FACE in 2009–2011. Four other short stories–especially written for the project by Jonas Hassen Khemiri, Rui Cardoso Martins, Emmanuelle Pagano, and Tiziano Scarpa—and an exhibition catalogue are published simultaneously
