In this conversation, artist Robert Zhao Renhui and book designer Hanson Ho come together to unpack the ideas, decisions, and processes behind making an artist’s book—from initial concept to material form. Moving between image, narrative, and design, the discussion traces how a book can become a site for speculation, storytelling, and artistic inquiry.

Facilitated by design curator Berny Tan, this session offers a closer look at the collaborative dynamics between artist and designer, and how their dialogue shapes the final work as both object and experience.
