"'Lexicon' is Viviane SASSEN's fist publication with a japanese publisher. It includes series by the same title which was chosen by Massimiliano Gioni to be part of The Encyclopedic Palace at the 55th Venice Biennale (2013).
Thirty-one images, encompassing iconic and more recent ones, wove together the themes recurring in her work: death, mourning, the fear of being alone and the longing for an emotional connection.
The profound sensitivity behind the vivid images is enhanced by a delicate book design and the use of special Japanese paper." (publisher's note, © Artbeat, 2014)
