This book functions as a pocket guide to Sven ’t Jolle’s engaging practice. Inspired by an illustrated encyclopaedia, it adopts an unusual approach to combining text and image. Grouping his work under poetic entry headings, it reveals how ’t Jolle explores themes of migration, labour and capital. In addition to images of his WIELS exhibition and earlier works, the book features three new texts: an exploration of ’t Jolle’s themes by Zoë Gray; an interview by Koen Kleijn; and an analysis of his sketchbook practice by Blair French.
