Rafaël Rozendaal launches a new haiku book today (August 23rd, 18.00h) at Material in Zürich, together with the opening of a new haiku exhibition. The exhibition is curated by Jan Steinbach and the book is published by Spheres publications.

Haiku

Rafaël Rozendaal on his Haiku (short poems inspired by the Japanese tradition): “In Japanese art, the idea applies that the physical entity of a work of art is not essential. I find it interesting to distribute my work in different ways. When you scroll past a Haiku on Instagram, your concentration is very different from when you read them bundled in a book, or view them in a gallery as an isolated wall painting.’
