Ghostwriter library

Installation
Artist’s book, wood and steel bookshelf
This atypical bookshelf explores the world of fiction, and more importantly, the people behind it. Sometimes writing under a false name, other times penning for others, these authors are known as ghostwriters. Here, the artist has asked ten ghostwriters to contribute a short story about this invisible profession, from behind the scenes. In these experimental, off-format editions, the many blank pages mirror the volume of texts written for others. As part of the opening of the exhibition, a signing session – a performance – was organised for ghost-writers who stepped out of the shadows for the first time.
