Catalog of an exhibition held at the Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, Milan, Italy, September 15, 2022-February 26, 2023.

Over four decades of atmospheric installation worksSince the late 1970s, Belgian artist Ann Veronica Janssens (born 1956) has been using ephemeral elements such as light to investigate the sensory perception of reality. Her works create situations that disorient viewers, breaking down their conventional perceptive mechanisms. This catalog, accompanying an exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, retraces the artist's entire career across sculpture, video and installation.

Laure Prouvost's surreal, maze-like installation dedicated to her grandfather in Milan's Pirelli HangarBicoccaThis volume takes its name from Antwerp-based French artist Laure Prouvost's (born 1978) first major solo exhibition in Italy, gathering over 15 works--installation, videos and projections, sculptures and found objects--as a museum dedicated to Prouvost's grandfather.

This book analyzes the imaginary worlds of Kosovan artist Petrit Halilaj (born 1986), reproducing notes and drawings from 2006-10.

Published on the occasion of Eva Kot'átková's exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca in 2018, the book The Dream Machine is Asleep genuinely reflects the idea of the exhibition and follows a mechanism that aims to get the reader closer to a personal (but universal) inner archive and the different stages of sleep which are depicted by the artist throughout the show.

The first complete compendium of Mullican's photographs from the 1960s to the present.Focusing on a medium the artist incessantly used from his debut to the late 1960s, but never analysed in depth by critics, the catalogue Mullican. Photographs comprehensively documents the entire photo oeuvre of Matt Mullican (Santa Monica, California, 1951. He lives and works in New York and Berlin), publishing a compendium of all his analogue photos taken between the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s up to his recent digital images and series, including images made by "That Person" - the artist's alter ego that emerges during states of hypnosis and trance - plus computer-generated images - in his initial experiments of virtual reality in the 1980s and 1990s - and a portfolio of exhibition views at Pirelli HangarBicocca, the biggest retrospective to date on Mullican, exceptionally photographed by the artist himself. In addition to an extraordinary collection of 2,000 images, this publication also contains various relevant texts: a conversation on photography between Matt Mullican and the artist/photographer James Welling; a critical essay on the use of images by Anne Rorimer, art historian and author of essays on the Picture Generation and the catalogue The Forest of Sign (1995); an excursus on the artist's digital photography and images by Tina Rivers Ryan; a conversation between Mullican and the exhibition curator Roberta Tenconi; finally, an essay by the philosopher Marie-Luise Angerer that explores the meaning of the show's title, "Matt Mullican. The Feeling of Things", the idea of "feeling", of perceiving things.
