“This book focuses on one of the primary spaces in which Roth merged art and life – the diaries he kept throughout his life. These provided somewhere to record appointments, addresses, lists and deadlines, but also ideas, drawings, photographs and poems. His diaries teem with graphic exuberance, and are a rich source both for Roth in the making of his work and for anyone wishing properly to understand it”, colour reproductions of diary pages and covers, photographs and video stills, with an introduction by Fiona Bradley and essays by Sarah Lowndes, Jan Voss, Andrea Buttner and Björn Roth, on the occasion of an exhibition at The Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh during the 2012 Edinburgh Art Festival, text in English, hard cover with dust jacket, 30 x 21,5 cm, 176 numbered pages, Edinburgh 2012
