R.R.
Henrik Olesen
Published by Ublication, London, 2023, 16 pages in cardboard folder (colour & b/w ill.), 24.3 × 28.5 cm, English
Price: €118

A bestiary of agencies, kinds of relatings, and scores of time.

Henrik Olesen’s R.R. originates in his reading of Donna Haraway’s The Companion Species Manifesto. Through her, Olesen reimagines Robert Rauschenberg’s ‘Monogram’ using found images of interspecies attachments overlaid with painterly gestures that are both childish and fevered.

Printed on a lightweight, soft, ink-absorbing paper stock, these images are then partially overlaid with hand collaged tip-ins. In an edition of 65. Numbered and signed.
