Product Description

“We’re all like carpets, craving suction action—or dirty, dirty is the cleaning market!”
-Maxim Komar-Myshkin

In this book, the animation of commodity objects magically ties together erotic frolics and political horrors: from a DC07 vacuum cleaner to a detention center for refugees, from little irons, socks and sweaters, to the particulars of post-Soviet power, and Vladimir Putin. Desire and Dust includes the newly commissioned text “The Dust Files” written by Paul B. Preciado and the classic “The Biography of the Object” by Sergei Tretíakov as well as texts by Roee Rosen and his fictive identities, Maxim Komar-Myshkin and the Buried Alive Group.

This book is published as part of the exhibition Roee Rosen: The Mosquito-Mouse and Other Hybrids, 31 October 2019 - 16 February 2020, Kunsthal Charlottenborg.
