In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing

In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing is a fragmented odyssey of artistic survival and longing.Reconstructed through hand-drawn illustrations, artefacts and photographs, cult performance and autobiography, it traces the journey through the everyday theatre of Kim Noble's life.As his art world escapades spiral from a gallery in Helsinki to hardware stores in London and a desolate English beach, romance fizzes and reality unravels. Here, fantasy and fact tangle in hand-drawn chaos, and the book itself becomes an artefact-proof of an unreal real life.At once absurd and touching, Kim Noble's journey is less a memoir and more a treasure hunt through the weird tides of love, loneliness, and the art of staying afloat. And in the margins of the page lurks a sardonic cephalopod, who crumples the story with inky interruptions and astute commentary on the unfolding adventures.
