This edition is part of and the edition´s series "yours truly (working title)" for which two artist-friends create an edition with each other in mind.

Camila Sposati (*1972 in Saõ Paulo, lives and works in Vienna) and Lenora de Barros (*1953 in Sao Paolo, living and working there) entered into an intercontinental dialog for their editions, which resulted in two collaborative works. Each artist chose a photographic motif of their Œuvre which was cut in half and combined with the other ́s. Lenora de Barros chose photographs of her hands, in a a pose of giving and guarding. Camila Sposati took two motifs from her series crystal growth for which she collaborated with scientists from the University College of London to grow crystals. The results are collage-like works which were created consciously together but remind formally of Exquisite Corpse - the game, which gained popularity during Surrealism and for which each participant takes turns drawing on a sheet of paper, folding it to conceal their contribution, and then passing it to the next person. Those editions are a collaboration based on friendship - a word which is written on both editions and connecting the motifs.
