Laida Lertxundi






















Daytime Noir

Daytime Noir is a limited edition artists book by Laida Lertxundi, designed by Gabrielle Pulgar and released by Artspace Aotearoa.

The book includes new writing by Laida Lertxundi, Ren Ebel, and Luna Miguel. Drawing on two recent 35mm films Autoficción (2020) and Inner Outer Space (2021) as well as recent works on paper, the publication explores the parameters of what it takes to run an artistic practice navigating the many facets of a full life: parenting, teaching, exhibiting, working.

The full colour, hand stitched book presents us with 'film stills' that come alive when we, as readers, engage with its physical form. Softcover with singer sewn binding, 6 × 8 in. and 7.5 × 10 in., 104 pages.

The publication is a bilingual (Spanish & English) edition of 100. The book is currently for sale at: Terranova Bookshop (Barcelona), fluent books (Santander), Tender Books (London), LUX Bookshop (London), Rile* (Brussels), After 8 (Paris), Now Instant (Los Angeles), Secession (Vienna) and Artspace Aotearoa (New Zealand).
