An incredible and somehow obscure multi-artist book. Limited to just 150 copies—of which this is number 72—Transit 2 is part artist’s book, part exhibition in print. It features contributions from both major and underrecognized figures in European and international conceptual art. Each artist offers a unique meditation on mirrors—whether physical, metaphorical, psychological, or philosophical.
The book blends text, photography, and experimental print techniques, and includes tipped-in photographs, signed prints, actual mirrors, envelope-contained postcards, and other tactile, alternative approaches to publishing and book design.
Inside is a signed postcard work by Klaus V. D. Locht, signed editions by Peter van Beveren, and a personal inscription from J.J. Beljon to his sister, Shirley Beljon.
