Objects of Significance is an artist's book that grew out of a series of photographs and
writings which Markus Vater collected over several years. They show and describe what matters
to the artist: objects fraught with meaning questions relationships memories. It is a
creative and philosophical book as funny as it is serious delving into questions like: What
do you see when you close your eyes and turn your head toward the sun? Or: How much does a
cloud weigh? Vater has interviewed the North Sea for the book and ponders the wind. He sheds
light on the conditions in which art comes into being and meditates on what holes are. All
writings are in English as the artist lived and worked in London from 1998 until 2021.
