Documentation of the readings to accompany the book launch for O, A Prayer Book by Samuel Hasler. Other speakers included: Katrina Palmer, Francesco Pedraglio and Sarah Tripp.

An incantation and repetition of prayers marks the introduction to a young man’s isolated, creatively stifled existence. Deluded by the stagnating mythology of great European modernist artists, he escapes the drudgery of the supermarket nightshift but not his perverse imagination. He travels to Moscow and Venice on a journey that causes reflection on his romantic ideas: his desire for a wild, bohemian life; his crude libido and his increasing doubts about his faith. The book operates as both a story and as a spine connecting performances, readings, installations and printing, operating as material context for a body of work.
