Revue Faire 56

Reading Until I Sleep reflects on the work of designer and publisher Manuel Raeder. His practice unfolds between readers and books, artists and places, bodies and infrastructures, materials and memories, working with objects that bear their histories openly and resist disposability by insisting on the ongoing life of things. The essay brings multiple perspectives into contact with the inequities that determine who can work, rest, make and be seen; within this landscape, Raeder’s practice, like reading and sleep, becomes an act of resistance, an interval that reopens the possibility of relation, autonomy and care. Across two decades he has developed a distinctive body of work spanning books, furniture, textiles, exhibitions and long-term collaborations, founding Studio Manuel Raeder and remaining co-founder of BOM DIA BOA TARDE BOA NOITE, which continues as a collaborative team based in his Berlin studio.
