This monograph foregrounds the artist’s words, showcasing works from 1970 to 2022, selected by George Trakas. Each piece is introduced through his notes, plans, drawings, and archival reproductions. His 1971 proposal for Avalanche offers insight into his artistic language. Critical perspectives by Kate Linker (1976) and Sally Yard (1993), along with a 1978 interview by Chantal Pontbriand, explore his phenomenological approach and spatial dynamics. Catalogue texts replace some notes, including Log Mass: Mass Curve, Self Passage, and Quai des Trois-Dents. The book concludes with an interview featuring Joan Jonas, Trakas, and his daughter Maggie, moderated by Alexis Lowry, alongside Catherine Grout’s essay on his engagement with body, space, and movement.
