ABOUT THE BOOK
A Work by Leif Elggren A Day - The Almanac brings together episodic poetic writings by Sven Schlijper-Karssenberg shedding light and insights, reason and unreason, fact and possibly fiction on the works of Leif Elggren.

With 300 entries, this catalog and almanac presents an analysis and projection of possibilities, of possible ways of hearing, seeing, experiencing and living with Elggren's art on the basis of a work a day, excluding Sundays and holidays, for a whole year.

The almanac in and of itself aims to be another instigator or generative element in the body of work of Leif Elggren: a guided tour of the oeuvre, a collector's catalog, an exhibition check list and above all: a booklet to carry with you, daily, full of comfort, bliss, poetics, love, wonder and solace.

Over the course of four volumes, A Work by Leif Elggren A Day is a display of living with the works of King Leif on a daily basis, recounting how everyday life is changed and enhanced, aided, guided, influenced by art and the appreciation thereof - the standing still for more than an instant and moving on a changed person, for the better and the best, finding a new and hitherto uncharted territory of holos, synchronicity, openness - the reverse and inverse of secrecy, borderline-less living without boundaries - sights set to endless horizons, indeterminate immortalities and possibilities as of yet unknown.

For Leif Elggren doesn't shout boldly, he moves in more agile, hushed ways, not veiled but his signature defies instant gratification by offering direct access through often apparently the simplest of means only to usher us into a world where sophisticated seemingly alien languages are spoken, resonating still with a form of innate familiarity and natural logic, a shard of the holos, a pars pro toto at every instance, and per se the toto and the holos in and of itself too, bringing forth the totality and universal, the power of the elemental and the fundamental in each and everyone, everything and everywhere: endless.

A Work by Leif Elggren A Day: a treat, a testament to the creative spirit, a wonder for the living. A cabinet of wonder. And of bliss.
