Barbara Hashimoto is very good at destruction. She has a history a firing books and displaying piles of shredded junk mail.
I have been trying to find somewhere to see her ceramic books myself. Having seen Yohei Nishimura's book at the National Arts Library at V&A, I was touched and inspired by the ephemeral lightness of it. Hashimotos books seem to lack that quality. It would be really good to see them first hand.
