With the first solo publication of the Brazilian born and Berlin based  
artist Alice Miceli, SEVERAL PURSUITS presents a collection of  
materials accumulated throughout her involvement with the Chernobyl  
Project, which has been shown internationally in exhibitions and  
festivals at different stages of its development. The complete work  
will be shown at the 29th Bienal de São Paulo this autumn.

Miceli travelled to Belarus several times over a period of three years  
and this publication will combine collected photographs from her  
travels to the exclusion zone around the reactor, subjective personal  
readings and official documents such as visas that have become key  
elements of the project itself.

The documents gathered in the publication, usually withheld from the  
exhibition visitor, define the scope of social, political and personal  
parameters encountered and their essential role within the project and  
its development. Similar to the proceedings within her photographic  
and cinematic works, here the inconspicuous or invisible is being made  
visible by questioning what is considered to be normal.

The publication is therefore not only an integral part of the work  
along with the films and negatives that have so far formed the  
Chernobyl Project, but will allow a deeper insight into the thoughts  
and work processes of the artist and her examination of her  
experiences and encounters beyond the creation of the final exhibition  
works.

On the occasion of the book launch the artist Alice Miceli will talk  
about the finalized project at HEROES in Berlin. The publication will  
be available for sale at a reduced launch rate.
