A collection of works by Italian designer Andrea Salerno and Turkish designer Yeliz Secerli.

「In 2018, I brought home the book "FLOWER ARRANGING." The book was a collection of reference materials for home-use flower arrangements, published in 1966. It appears to have been printed in the Netherlands, but was published in Des Moines in 1965 and Glasgow in 1966 at about the same time. It appears to have been sold at a bookstore between Pritchard and Loveday Streets in Johannesburg, but was once again found in a charity shop near my home when I returned to the Netherlands. Soon, with the help of Yeliz Shekelli, I began to "re-arrange" the sequences that the book "Flower Arrangement" had been making.」

Andrea Salerno

“In early 2018, I came back home with a book titled Flower Arrange, an illustrated home reference manual about floral decoration dated 1966. The book was printed in Holland, yet published almost simply in Des Moines (1965) and Glasgow (1966). The volume appeared to be sold in a no-longer existing bookshop in Johannesburg, between Pritchard and Loveday Streets, and eventually travelled back to the Netherlands, where I found it in a charity shop not too far from my house. Soon afterwards I started rearrange its sequence of flower arrangements with the help of Yeliz Secerli.”
