Excerpt from the book: “When I were invited by Lucie Stahl to write something about her great and trashy posters, I looked into my diary and were surprised to find so many parallels in our dreams and notes. I have never met Lucie Stahl, but we live in the same world: oil leaks, palm fronds, key rings, sports drinks. Like me, she is a self-proclaimed reporter. Stahl’s posters begin with her strange tendency to write down randomly picked up scraps of conversation, background thoughts and fleeting anxieties. Once captured (even preserved under buckets of chemical shine) they function like video snippets from the flood of information that makes up our consciousness. (Chris Kraus)
