edition of 250
commissioned by Max FIELDS for FotoFest Biennale 2022, If I Had a Hammer
《Resident, or Resident Evil, or This Minor Contextualisation of a Minor Temporality Known as Publishing on the Run》的主體被審核、校對，被編輯為一部自2021年12月7日至2022年4月13日期間的書信體檔案。作為新冠疫情時旅行的特權和雙重身分不穩定性的肖像，作者展露複雜性和共謀，書寫交流在不同名義下的朋友們、僱員和合作者的無序蔓延網絡——時而在行政勞動的領域，時而反思的、激進地親密、或饒舌。該卷匯編不同短文、電子郵件通信、藝術家當時在閱讀的書籍摘錄，以及值得印刷的文獻。
The body of Resident, or Resident Evil, or This Minor Contextualisation of a Minor Temporality Known as Publishing on the Run has been reviewed, collated, and edited as an epistolary archive of the period from 7 December 2021 to 13 April 2022. As a portrait of the dual identities of precarity and privilege during pandemic-era travel, it reveals the complexities and complicities of its author, who writes under various names to a sprawling network of friends, employers, and collaborators—sometimes in the realm of administrative labour, at other times reflective, radically intimate, or chatty. The volume compiles various short writings, e-mail correspondence, excerpts from other books the artist was reading at the time, and other print-worthy documents.
Each book is wrapped with detritus paper including magazines, newspapers, circular advertising, and posters collected by the artist, and were first presented as part of a same-titled installation featuring excerpted pages from the book in a 1990s Americana home setting.
