DESCRIPTION

In 2009 Banner had the International Standard Book Number “ISBN 0-9548366-7-7” tattooed onto her lower back, officially registering herself in the Legal Deposit Office of the British Library and signifying her status as a publication titled Fiona Banner. She explained: “It’s not really about branding, but how works-of-art act as mirrors, it’s also about stories and biography, the conspiracy of narrative—I was thinking also about copyright and publishing in a jokey, serious way, a sort of self-portrait as book.”
