Book Synopsis
“Immediate Quotidian” is an illustration of the work of love–the construction of a relationship. The book features two sections, the first by Kantardžić and the second by West, of love letters, drawings and photographs culled from the first year of their relationship—a sketch from the back of a DJ request list, words scrawled on a napkin. The materials are now relics, generated in moments when the artists were not physically touching—moments when their bodies were apart but their relationship was coming together.
Through performance of the self to the other, the vulnerability of love, and the pain of self-growth (perhaps easier shared with another) they are perfect lovers–sometimes in synch, sometimes not, but always perfect.
The book mirrors the performance, and vice versa. Both are raw, poignant exercises and experiments in connection and self-discovery by two creatives–and both are fire.
