Trans-Actions keskittyy kuvataiteilija Kristiina Koskentolan (FI/NL) teoksiin, jotka hän on tehnyt vuosina 2007-2008 Pekingissä ja matkallaan Gobin autiomaan läpi Mongoliassa. Julkaisuun on kirjoittanut esseitä Ruben de la Nuez (Cuba/NL) ja Marjolein Schaap (NL). Julkaisu sisältää taiteilijan ja Carol Lun (China) keskustelun ja Mika Hannulan (FI/DE) epilogin. Julkaisu heijastaa paitsi Kiinan nyky-yhteiskuntaa ja –taidetta, myös abjektin käsitettä (inhon ja vastenmielisyyden tunteen kokemista), rumuuden kulttuurillista kuvausta, väärinkäsityksiä ja muistia.

Trans-Actions fokuserar på bildkonstnären Kristiina Koskentolas (FI/NL) verk som hon gjort under åren 2007–2008 i Peking och under hennes resa genom Gobiöknen i Mongoliet. Publikationen innehåller esseer av Ruben de la Nuez (Kuba/NL) och Marjolein Schaap (NL), ett samtal med konstnären och Carol Lu (Kina), samt en epilog av Mika Hannula (FI/DE). Förutom att boken reflekterar på det samtida samhället och konsten i Kina, diskuteras även konceptet abjekt (upplevelsen av avsky och motvilja), kulturella representationer av fulhet, missförstånd och minnet.

In close collaboration with the Veenfabriek, the artistic ensemble directed by Paul Koek, he researched the philosophy of early electronic music as well as special made reconstructions of the remarkable instruments from this period such as the futuristic ‘intonarumori’ and other siren based instruments. Currently he is finalising the book on this research project: Staging a Siren Orchestra, to be published in late 2009.
