FISH OUT OF WATER by Claire-Louise Bennett

128 x 182mm, 45 pages, Black & white printing, Perfect bound, Softcover, 2024

Sometimes it’s very uplifting to feel one’s fleshy boundaries dissolve. To not know where one ends and the world begins. To feel someone's breast is your breast too. Total immersion can be very transporting indeed.

‘I think Fish Out of Water is about recognition, that extraordinary moment of encountering a work of art that makes you reel because it seems to beckon you, to know what you once did but have had to forget, to lead you back to yourself but as a stranger. It reminds us that we might well arrive in this world too soon, or the wrong way round, and what’s meant to nourish us might choke us, but we were never long for all that, anyway. There’s still chance to recover ourselves and the world as new and totally strange.’ -- Jennifer Hodgson
