This publication, itself a reversed object, retraces Tarek Atoui's multidisciplinary interventions, events, concerts, and workshops that condensed into The Reverse Sessions, a project that unfolded in three stages at the Dahlem Museum during the last Berlin Biennale, and at kurimanzutto in Mexico City.

The Reverse Sessions followed the genesis of sound making, from museum objects not intended to be played (Dahlem Sessions), to scores composed after those sounds, to instruments created to perform those very scores. Over the summer of 2016, Atoui's makeshift instruments were activated again at Tate Modern, for The Reverse Collection.

Tarek Atoui is a sound artist and instrument builder who creates sound-generating objects for improvisation.
