Once Removed is a collection of short, subtly interlinked stories inspired by the South African art world. With their unique views into high-end galleries, crumbling museums, immanent art fairs and out-of-work critics, the stories in this collection explore the idea of having one’s life changed, in ways both profound and banal, through novel encounters with art and performance.
