Описание: A woman sits alone in a darkened boiler-room. A man enjoys hanging suspended from the ceiling. A dirty room indicates the secret sexual proclivities of its occupant. A curtain rustling in the breeze portends fear and paranoia.
"The purpose of a room derives from the special nature of a room. A room is inside. This is what people in rooms have to agree on, as differentiated from lawns, meadows, fields, orchards."
Room Behavior is a book about rooms. Composed of texts and images from the most varied sources - including crime novels, decorating manuals, anthropological studies, performance art, crime scene photos, literature and the Bible, to name a few - Kovitz shapes the material through a process of highly subjective editing, ordering and juxtaposition to create an original, fascinating and darkly funny rumination about the behavior of rooms and the people that they keep.
"Like the rooms he depicts, the pages of this book are host to an evocative and thought-provoking life of their own." - Uptown Magazine
"Strange and clever." - Globe & Mail
"The book is a unique mini-coffee table paperback, beautifully designed.... Much more than a 'gift' book, Room Behavior is something to pause and reflect on whenever you think about rearranging your furniture." -- Fast Forward
"This is a book to keep, to review again and again. Funny, but deep." -- Umbrella

Описание: The first one is the hardest. Then he discovers he likes it.
DEATH WISH: Starring Charles Bronson, Architect is based on the sensationalistic and controversial Death Wish movies, in which Charles Bronson portrays an architect who becomes a vigilante-killer. Death Wish by Rob Kovitz is a kind of enigmatic allegory, in which Bronson is Everyman, and Architecture is the dream/nightmare that goes to bed with each of us at night.

Treyf Books by Rob Kovitz - unusual books of an indeterminate type, sort of story-picture remix books for people who can't stomach any more schmaltzy Chicken Soup for the Soul. Treyf Books are cooked up using texts and images compiled from various sources, usually obsessively related to one or more themes, and then recombined through a process of highly subjective editing, ordering and juxtaposition.

"Is this a new form of discourse in step with its multivalent, chaotic times, or just an excuse for intellectual laziness? Only the author knows for sure." - Canadian Architect
