is the first in-depth recognition into Jesper Just's multilayered body of
works. A filmmaker, a screenwriter, choreographer, and a performance
artist, Just's practice has been constantly changing and evolving, to the

to create a unique form of art. Together with an extensive visual
documentation of the artist's career, the book features texts and essays
by
Andrew Berardini, Irene Campolmi,
Pedro Gadanho, André Lepecki, Michael Thouberg, Marianne Torp, Fatos
Ustek.
“Jesper Just is an artist who has made himself known not only for the
faultless textural quality of his nonnarrative films but also for
conceiving them as part of highly complex architectural installations
that, by intervening in the visitor's experience, create a sensory journey
that requires the visitor to "perform"—willingly or not—within the space
in order to navigate it.”—Irene Campolmi
