Mark Manders: All Words and One

“This book revolves around a solitary word: 'Skiapod.' What began as the challenge of selecting a single word, altering its meaning, evolved into a captivating journey through human history and the intricate workings of our minds. Within these pages, you'll witness how an idea can traverse different periods, crystallize in the minds of diverse artists, and solidify across various media—from cave drawings to faxes, from Malevich to Guston.

The book also poses thought-provoking questions: Why do we feel the need to create images and meaning? What motivates us to depict mythical figures and attempt to grasp something profound through these representations?”
