8 Metaphors confronts the paradoxes and contradictions of 8 artists, who work primarily with the moving image, choosing to write, commission and edit a book that encapsulates their work. Their contributionsÑwhich include texts, interviews, scripts and scoresÑare a series of metaphors for the making of work, and making meaning. 8 Metaphors is edited by Isla Leaver-Yap and published by LUX. Contributors Mina Bancheva, ƒric La Casa, Christoph Cox, Kate Davis, Lars Bang Larsen, Uriel Orlow, Dominic Paterson, Lee Patterson, Lis Rhodes, Deborah Stratman, Maija Timonen, Toshiya Tsunoda, Marina Vishmidt, Judith Williamson, Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz.e
