Rising Oslo artist and writer Matias Faldbakken, born in 1973, has published two novels under the alias Abo Rasul. Filled with acid humor and low blows, his immediately notorious books investigated the relationships between underground and mainstream culture in Norway. His artwork does the same, taking on systems of knowledge, power, order and exchange.

For this publication, novelist and artist Matias Faldbakken (born 1973) went into the log of his various hard drives and extracted parts of his Google search histories. His search phrases, reproduced here chronologically, were mostly oriented around image searches, and therefore illustrate the verbal foundations of Faldbakken's art. This volume occupies a space in between the artist's visual and textual production, thus resembling a form of concrete poetry.

For 50 years Matson worked in Jerusalem for the photographic firm run by the American Colony, taking numerous photographs in Palestine and other countries round the Eastern Mediterranean. Here are just a few of his masterpieces from that period, dating from 1917 to 1942, but giving the impression of an immediate reality. These are photographs of people at work, at war, in the marketplace, of statemen and of shepherds tending their flocks. They are all photographs of great historical and artistic value.
