Art ASMR: A Rare Artists' Book from East Germany

///Experience ASMR like never before! 🎧 Best enjoyed with headphones.///
Immerse yourself in the soothing crinkling, crackling, and scratching ASMR sounds of Unaulutu, a rare artists’ book from the Getty Research Institute’s collection.
Curators Isotta Poggi and Ava Hoeller-Lacerda offer an exclusive peek inside this extraordinary work of art. Explore the delicate covers, papers, materials, and textures in the serene setting of the Special Collections Reading Room.
Created by East German artists Olaf Wegewitz and Frieder Heinz, Unaulutu embodies the limitless possibilities of a book: a portable, sensory exhibition transcending boundaries of space and time.

No gloves!!?? 😮

[@justpixelven]

Because they can rip it with the latex gloves, these pages need extreme and precise handling and that can only be achieved this way.

[@SuzannePoschet]

Why isn’t she wearing the white cotton gloves? Maybe they’re not needed?

[@kwsmug5965]

The loss of tactile feedback while wearing gloves means there’s more risk of damage (tearing, etc.) to the book. Cotton gloves, when reused, also absorb dirt/dust from what is being handled as well as oils from your hands over time and these can transfer to the book.
For items where fingerprints or natural oils produced by our skin would cause damage (negatives, printed photographs, metals, etc.), then nitrile gloves would be worn. But here clean, recently washed hands are fine for handling.
