The book is divided into two sections: The GALLERY section which features the monumental sculptures and installations of 40 talented artists and the INTERVIEW section, where 12 of them, Kurt Perschke (US), Inges Idee (DE), Max Streicher (CA) and Florentijn Hofman (NE) amongst others, talk about their work and the perception of size comparative to public space as they present some of their OVERS!ZED projects.

Placing his 15-foot inflatable ball in various unexpected locations around the world including California, Perth, Abu Dhabi, Taipei, Toronto, Chicago, Sydney and Barcelona, New York artist Kurt Perschke’s ‘RedBall Project’ acts as a catalyst for everyday new encounters between viewers in a magnetic, playful, and charismatic way.  Inges Idee, the Berlin based group comprising four individual artists, presents their ‘From Above’ sculpture (Aichi, EXPo 2005 Commemorative Park, Japan) where a huge snowman leans over the large circular opening of the newly built Global Center gazing down to where his hat has fallen. With a subtle sense of humour, Inges Idee refers concretely to the specific architectonic composition in its attempt to connect viewers to their surroundings. With its custom-made piece produced exclusively for China's Rockbund Art Museum (RAM), the Zhang Huan Studio’s Q-Confucius No.2 sculpture embodies a statement about contemporary spiritual values and religious beliefs in relation to the rapid economic and societal changes taking place in China.

Dutchman Florentijn Hofman is renowned around the world for his humourous sculptures. His 26-metre-high yellow rubber duck that has been showcased in Auckland, Sao Paulo and Osaka fulfils Hofman’s aim which is to instigate conversation amongst anyone and everyone who comes across his work.  The Radford Wallis Design Studio’s contribution to the publication was to divide a vast floor into four smaller sections which the designers achieved by enormously scaling up four common stationery items and placing them accordingly within the space.  The Antwerp based Studio Job once again show us their love for precious metals, presenting the Silver Ware installation commissioned by Bisazza where eight domestic colossal-sized objects were completely coated in white gold mosaic. Always amusing and disobedient, New York based Sagmeister & Walsh are featured for their ‘Everybody always thinks they are right’ project commissioned by the Scottish Government where six 10-metre high white angry monkeys were placed in six different cities throughout Scotland as part of the Six Cities Festival.  The Japanese studio Nendo naturally could not be excluded from this edition. Their installation for internationally renowned milliner Hirata Akio is a mesmerising compilation of 4000 mass-produced non-woven fabric ''ghost hats'' that create a strong antithesis to Hirata’s carefully handmade hats.
