Excellent- More about Fireflies
Fireflies is a book that showcases Parreno's lesser-known drawings, which were created while he was ill with cancer and sent to his friends. The drawings feature a delicate, personal touch and are often created by an absence of darkness or pigment, encapsulating the bioluminescent glow emanating from the insect's abdomen. The book is edited by Hans Ulrich Obrist and includes an interview with the artist and an essay by Belgian philosopher Vinciane Despret.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 250 pages

Known for his diverse installation work that encompasses sculpture, video, and soundscapes, Fireflies delves into the lesser-known realm of Parreno's drawings. The collection presented here showcases a delicate and personal touch, as these drawings were created during Parreno's battle with cancer and were sent to his close friends. In Parreno's drawings, the fireflies' light often emerges from the absence of darkness or pigment, creating a striking contrast that perfectly captures the bioluminescent glow emanating from the insect's abdomen. The book is curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries. Alongside the artwork, it features an interview with the artist conducted by Obrist, as well as an essay by Belgian philosopher Vinciane Despret, offering further insights into Parreno's artistic process and philosophical outlook.
