In a lively reinterpretation from an interview transcript, Serpentine Gallery CoDirector, Hans Ulrich Obrist s conversation with Ashley Bickerton is remodelled as a graphic novel set in the red light district of an anonymous Eastern metropolis. Originally conducted in the Groucho Club, Obrist is portrayed as a fictional character, the pair are seen conversing in bars and moving through colourful streets and strip clubs as they discuss Bickerton s early ambitions to be a writer, his passion for surfing, island life and dialects of the English language, amongst a host of other interests and influences. An extensive anecdotal discussion and narrative leads the reader through the artist s varied life.
