Ed Atkins and Brian Dillon: A Primer for Cadavers

British-born and Berlin-based artist Ed Atkins was at the shop to present his book A Primer for Cadavers, published by Fitzcarraldo Editions. A mixture of prose-poetry, theatrical script and sort-of-stories, Atkins’s Primer is an extraordinary exploration of corporeality, technology and the future of the human race by a man described by Joe Luna in his afterword as ‘an elegiac, erotic Frankenstein for the twenty-first century.’

Atkins was in conversation with Brian Dillon, author of Essayism.
