The first issue of a series of four magazine-like artist books on different subjects related to the work of the Iranian-born video and installation artist, Shahram Entekhabi developed over a period of two years. Bringing together two subjects in each issue, the books are published biannually.

'Entekhabi’s practice is framed within an urban setting and diffuses the idea of the urban space being a reserve for the practice and performance of the white, middle class, hetero-sexual male. He explores these ideas via a variety of performative practices, using architecture, installation and digital media. He chooses to highlight individuals who are ordinarily marginalised and made invisible or are forced into self-ghettoisation from the urban domain, such as migrant communities and their cultures, particularly the communities from the Middle East and its diaspora. The question of visibility and invisibility therefore is a theme he recurrently explores within his practice.' - from publisher's website
