"The beauty of transience - A Statement of anti-artworks" by Viktorija Poposka skims the artist as not compelled to create—someone who finds herself contemplating existing objects instead of making new ones. This book contains photographic documents of one-off activities and artworks that no longer exist — a story of cleaning the art studio while thinking of anti-art. The action of this book takes place over several days. It is a train of thought expressed through ephemeral and floating words and activities.

"Hideout" by Simon Kocjancic comprises a wide selection of photographs made with an analog camera. Taken in different locations or homes, these photographs invite us to see the perspective of a seeker. We see different objects, situations, and arrangements between the various floors and ceilings. At one point, we think that we have grasped a narrative, and then, in the next moment, we lose it again. At another point, all the things shown in the photographs become strange and unfamiliar. We doubt what we see and persistently think that something is hidden and we cannot find it. From the very beginning of the book till the end, we enter different rooms and basements, climb stairs and go down the stairs. Some objects change their locations, and we move from arranged rooms to very chaotic ones. Every picture is unknown territory, and we are unsure whether we grasp the subject matter.
