The rooms in the exhibition can be regarded as rooms of Manders' Self-portrait as a Building. The works have been 'left behind' by the artist in three different zones; the visitor enters a living room, then the museum, and finally the studio. According to Manders, all the works are interchangeable and can be put into a different context: 'like words in a sentence can also be used in different combinations'. With an introduction by Stijn Huijts and an essay by Douglas Fogle on the role of language in Manders' oeuvre. - Coll. VAM: Manders, Mark, Short Sad Thougts, 1990, p. 57, ill. kleur
