handmade book, 30 x 40 cm

 

This handmade book contains a list of objects and their dimensions, as measured by the artist through her window. In the world created by this perspective, it is completely logical that a building is 3 millimetres and a bicycle 9 centimetres. In this way, Nuyten humorously questions the old adage ‘to measure is to know’.
