Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Text in English, Japanese and Danish. 115 pp. Minor edge wear. Laterna Magica, the exhibition's title, is a reference to William Heinesen's (1900-199 I) short story of the same name. The story narrates a childhood memory: two boys impatiently await a magic lantern show. But while they wait, the m…achinery is found to be inoperative and the show is cancelled. Iin spite of this, or perhaps precisely because of it, the many hours spent in front of the stage, flled with joyful expectation and wild imaginings, are to the author a highly priced memory. Here, Heinesen treats one of the most important essentials of art - the prompting of the viewer's ideas and imagination.
