Being there and not being there
A new initiative by ABC Artists’ Books Cooperative: curated sets of books from its entire catalogue. I was pleased to make the first one and introduce five wonderful books in relation to each other. Read about this set here.
The Man of the Crowd
The Man of the Crowd is a reflection on a short story by Edgar Allan Poe and a street occurrence that I photographed in Paris. The main part of the work is a series of 56 photographs, tracking a 21st century flâneur, followed by imagetexts based on linguistic analyses of Poe’s story. Each book is marked with a distinct word from Poe’s story, which limits the edition to the number of different words in the tale. Published November 2012.
