Pedro Neves Marques. The Integration Process

Book composed of four short stories written by the artist, each one taking on a distinct kind of speech as a reflection of its context and content. The Anonymous Life of Patek Philippe introduces us to the intricacies of value attribution at play in this Swiss watch brand through the perspective a wristwatch. On Escolha (André Guedes, 2007) analyses and reassesses in the style of an oblique art review a work by the artist André Guedes with same title. The Integration Process presents the St. Gallen Management School where, since the 1960s, economics and ecology have been brought together under the field of management. And A Numismatic Faustian Tale describes a would-be setting around the printing of Notgeld – emergency money – during the inflation crisis of the Weimar Republic. Each short story is illustrated by one of the four images that embrace the book and make up its cover.
