In 2011 he began drawing fireflies and sent the resulting works as gifts to friends and collaborators across the globe. All 283 drawings are collected here for the first time, alongside an interview with Parreno by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of the Serpentine Galleries, London, and an essay by philosopher Vinciane Despret on time and mortality. Parreno’s Fireflies are among the most intimate and personal works from his widely celebrated practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781912122110.
