Translated and introduced by Emmett Williams: “In these Mythological Travels Daniel Spoerri has traveled far afield, in the word and deed, from the eighty objects on top of the blue table in his Paris hotel room that served as points of departure for his classic autobiographical epic of accumulation, An Anecdoted Topography of Chance. This time the setting is the Greek island of Symi, a stone’s throw from Turkey, where the artist lived, cooked and collaged under the roof of the unforgettable Kosta Theos, inventor, Son of God, and sworn foe of such ‘monkey business’ as the internal combustion engine, death, and the exploitation of man by man.”
