This new version is written as the inverse of the original with male becoming female and vice versa. Fandom and fan fiction are not far removed. This rewrite as a radical form of identification creates a setting that feels slightly off. It is not immediately clear why, but situations and characters show structures that were not visible in the regular text. Although the novel asks a \u0026lsquo;What if \u0026hellip;?\u0026rsquo; question, it does not readily resolve the issue. It simply adds a new disconcerting layer on top through an active and productive consuming.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of his artistic practice, Peter Lemmens has been publishing small press editions.

Like this, it moves along the lines of B-movies, straight-to-video and horror cult films of the seventies and eighties. These often seek out alternative distribution formats, finding\u0026nbsp;their way to a segmented public, away from mainstream reviews and releases. These kinds of genres not only admit to their secondhand nature openly, they wouldn\u0026#39;t even exist otherwise.
