Shoe-Field Book

Book Art

In the same way that scientists write up the results of their experiments, Rapoport used the book format to document and analyse her interactive installations, experimental drawings, and multimedia pieces. This allowed her to show work in exhibitions specifically focused on books, a portable format that allowed viewers to explore her dense, language-based work in depth. The personal nature of Sonya’s chosen subject matter – looking into choice of shoe-wear, social constructs of race and gender, as well as her own domestic life – is underscored by the intimacy and approachability of the book format.
