Guestbook

'Shapton has created amystical territory - a performance, an exhibition,a guestbook - inwhich I felt the ghost within myself; the thing that will outlive me. Afearless and exquisite book' Miranda July

Guestbook explores the glimmering, unsettling things that hauntus in the midst of life, combining stories, vignettes and an evocativecuriosity cabinet of artifacts and images - found photographs, originalpaintings, Instagram-style portraits - to transform the traditionalghost story into something else entirely.

'Leanne Shapton has a way of making books entirely new, surreal, and uncanny ... Guestbook containsghost stories for a world of images and captions, in which the ghostsare all of us, and our strange time' Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?

Reviews

Guestbook is a catalogue of what haunts us and, more often than not, as with Important Artifacts, it is the little things.
