No Ghost Just A Shell
The publication No Ghost Just a Shell is the first compilation of all artworks produced with and in relation to the virtual figure AnnLee between 1999 and 2003. It also constitutes the final object in the total series of twenty-six artworks. In addition to Hans Ulrich Obrist's conversation with the initiators of the project, Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno, contributions by nine writers are included in the publicationIn an introductory interview, Pierre Huyghe says the following about this: "The authors of the book add to the list of artists who have already taken the character into their hands. They have an equal share in the project. The book No Ghost Just a Shell is an anthology of the sign AnnLee. It's a technical book, a book that explores the different facets of the project, ideas considered as the project developed."
Furthermore, the publication contains the already legendary contract in which AnnLee herself becomes the owner of the copyright. For this reason, it will be impossible for AnnLee to be used for further artistic or economic purposes in the future. This publication is consequently the first and the last AnnLee book.
