The mini-library, 'Ömtåliga Konstruktioner, tio häften,' by Swedish artist Åsa Andersson contains ten booklets in an embossed cartonage slipcase. The booklets constitute different poetic 'rooms' with images and text which together create a conceptual and associative stage set. The titles of the booklets are: Körsbärsblomssanatoriet, Dawn Chorus, Hiroshima Blossom Keepers, Shakkei - Lånade landskap, Utdrag ur Tedagbok, Krigsbarnet - Pärlor, Kiosken, Broar, Konceptuell intimitet, Klippdocksträdet. (Approx. translation: The Cherry Blossom Sanatorium, Dawn Chorus, Hiroshima Blossom Keepers, Shakkei - Borrowed Landscapes, Extract from Tea Diary, The War Child - Pearls, The Kiosk, Bridges, Conceptual Intimacy, The Cutout Paper Tree). The booklets can entice readers within visual arts, artists' books, literature, existential philosophy, aesthetics, the Japanese tea world - but hopefully also other people. The ambition is that the slipcase with its ten booklets is something beautiful, poetic to be allured to, with seriousness. And that the content of the booklets should awake a desire for perception and tenderness. The images are documentary or staged, sometimes double-exposed photographs, graphic prints, art objects and drawings. The texts mix essay-writing, prose and short poems
