27 presents twenty-seven recent works from Magali Reus’s series Clementine and Merlin (2023–24). Designed with the intimate feel of a diary or romantic novel, the book echoes Reus’s attention to materiality, format, and typography. The works are documented in the style of portrait photography and organized using a numerical font reconstructed by the artist from her grandmother’s handwriting, reinforcing the project’s personal and tactile character. Newly commissioned writing by acclaimed American author Danielle Dutton offers a literary response to the series, accompanying selections from Reus’s own photographic archive. The book also includes a rich visual compilation of research and process materials drawn directly from the artist’s studio. Bringing these elements together, 27 offers a layered, intimate entry into Reus’s recent practice, revealing how images, objects, language, and memory intertwine within her evolving artistic world.
