Kunsthalle Zürich has co-published 'Trajal Harrell: Catalogue Raisonné', which it describes as the first publication devoted to the American choreographer and dancer. The book covers more than 25 years of Harrell's artistic practice.

At its centre is a long conversation between Harrell and Daniel Baumann, the former director of Kunsthalle Zürich, who also edited the volume. According to the Kunsthalle, Harrell looks back in it on his choreographies and performances, on his artistic influences, and on his successes and failures.

The English-language softcover runs to 184 pages in a compact 11 by 18 cm format and was designed by Lorenzo Mason Studio.
