In connection with his new book, Martin Bruno Schmid says succinctly: Good evening, this Retour de Paris exhibition is not a classic solo exhibition; you do not see current works or works created during my residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. Instead of an exhibition, what I therefore show you today is a selection of site-specific projects and project designs. The lecture is recorded, presented as a video projection throughout the duration of the exhibition, and published as a book at the end of the exhibition. Thus, exhibition as lecture, lecture as publication.
