Bharti Kher’s art gives form to quotidian life and its daily rituals in a way that reassesses and transforms their meaning to yield an air of magical realism. Living between London, UK and New Delhi, India, her use of found objects is informed by her own position as an artist located between geographic and social milieus. Her way of working is exploratory: surveying, looking, collecting, and transforming, as she repositions the viewer’s relationship with the object and initiates a dialogue between metaphysical and material pursuits.

This Breathing House was published to accompany Kher‘s solo exhibition at the Freud Museum, London, and includes a series of texts by the exhibition‘s curator Stephanie Rosenthal. Produced with a linen spine, white foiled text to covers and spine, and red marker ribbon echoing Kher‘s Bloodline, which runs through the centre of the Freud Museum.
