Johannessen’s answer to Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit: “Eat peas and think of princesses.” “Sleep between two rocks.” “Turn suddenly into a wolf.” Presented as a parody on exercise manuals, this miniature book prescribes a whole range of bizarre exercises from letting “two ants walk on your head” and “kiss the wind” to ‘think of something you don’t know" and “read a hundred-year old book.” Statements are presented in small delicate text on stark white pages with wide margins.
