werkboek is a collaborative project between An Onghena and Jivan van der Ende that combines the playful, impulsive, and detail-oriented quality of both their practices. Starting from video registrations of the two artists working their way through books, the publication shows the hands of Onghena touching and folding the paper. In this way the publication shows the relation between the hands of the reader and the paper, and could even function as an instructive guide to its reader(s).
To emphasise the performative aspect and its collaborative nature, Onghena and Van der Ende created a metal tool which facilitates a collaborative performative reading. The publication is placed in the tool while the two readers take place on opposite sides from the publication. Only together they can flip through the publication, following the instructions of Onghena’s riso-printed hands. Do you dare to fold?
