“My uncle loves things that are not”. Through his nephew’s observations of his art, the artist’s unique worldview is revealed. The nephew’s uncle creates art in the gaps between things – in shadows, and even in a deep, empty hole in the ground. This unique book was written by artist Micha Ullman’s nephew.

The boy in this book describes his uncle, artist Micha Ullman, thereby exposing readers to his unique art pieces and their various interpretations on the one hand, as well as the effect art has on its viewers on the other. Things that Aren’t is a story that encourages flexible thinking and creative observiations of all things, even things that aren’t, such as the space between people or the empty space inside a hole in the ground.
“The bigger the hole in the ground is – the more sky it contains” Micha Ullman in his exhibition Broken Cisterns
