Carsten Höller’s Book of Games
The launch at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London
2024: On December 10 in London, TASCHEN, in collaboration with the Polaroid Foundation, hosted Carsten Höller, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and over 200 guests at the Institute of Contemporary Arts for a special talk and interactive games night to mark the launch of Carsten Höller’s Book of Games.
Following a 30-minute conversation between Carsten and the book’s co-editor, Hans Ulrich Obrist, the Artistic Director of London’s Serpentine Galleries, the audience were invited by Carsten to purchase a pre-signed copy of the book and "Play Along." Adding to the excitement, guests playing the games were photographed using the Polaroid 20x24, the world’s largest instant camera and one of only five in existence.
