Review: "Carsten Holler Test Site at Tate Modern is at once a celebration of the slide as a form of locomotion that induces delight and vertigo and a plea for its wider use beyond the playground and amusement park. This book contains not only a perceptive discussion of Holler's artistic work and photographs of the installation, but also a history of the slide, an architectural proposal for a hypothetical slide house, and a feasibility study for the use of slides in the urban public arena."--BOOK JACKET.
