An Atlas of Es Devlin, the first monograph on artist Es Devlinâs genre-defying practice, is an experiential publication encompassing art, activism, theatre, poetry, music, dance, opera and sculpture. Devlinâs protean work is rooted in a life-long practice of reading and drawing. From sketches in the margins of texts, be they poetry, drama, song lyrics, opera libretti, climate reports or endangered species lists, emerge the technically advanced, collectively imagined universes for which she is globally renowned. Fragile miniature paintings, paper cuts and small mechanical cardboard models form the seeds of some of the most iconic, large-scale, multi-disciplinary cultural manifestations in recent times, from public sculptures and installations at Tate Modern, Serpentine, V&A, Barbican, Imperial War Museum and the Lincoln Center, to kinetic stage designs at the Royal Opera House, the Royal Ballet, the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala and the National Theatre, as well as Olympic Ceremonies, Super-Bowl half-time shows, and monumental illuminated stage sculptures for Beyonce, The Weeknd, U2, Rosalìa, Dr Dre and Kendrick Lamar. Devlinâs work is at once deeply personal and inherently collective. Over the past decade her art practice has engaged with biodiversity, linguistic diversity and collective AI-generated poetry. She views the audience as a temporary society and encourages profound cognitive shifts by inviting public participation in communal choral works. An Atlas of Es Devlin is a unique, sculptural volume of over 900 pages, including foldouts, cut-outs, and a range of paper types, mirror and translucencies, with over 700 colour images documenting over 120 projects spanning over 30 years, and a 50,000 word text featuring the artistâs personal commentaries on each art work as well as interviews with her collaborators including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Bono, Benedict Cumberbatch, Pharrell Williams, Carlo Rovelli, Brian Eno, Sam Mendes, Alice Rawsthorn and Abel âThe Weekndâ Tesfaye. Each book is boxed and includes a die-cut print from an edition of 5000. âEs is like superstring theory, at least eleven dimensions.â Hans Ulrich Obrist âEs knows how to bend the mind around corners of our experience.â Benedict Cumberbatch âEs takes our inchoate aspirations and sculpts them into a stage.â Bono âI wish weâd had Es as a psychologist on some of our projects.â Brian Eno âEsâs mind is both forensic and associative. She is able to x-ray a play and then she starts to dream.â Lyndsey Turner âEs is a turning point for anyone she interacts with.â Pharrell Williams âEs creates moments in which we suddenly become aware of life and existing, and time.â Carlo Rovelli âWith Es, thereâs no âNoâ. She creates a whole universe.â Abel âThe Weekndâ Tesfaye
