stand up(side down)

i have just added a new project to ‘me work’ a photobook made for my friend ‘paul d. scott’ who shot a series of young dutch gymnasts (the dutch word is ‘turners’ which also became the book’s title) hanging around in some very impressive positions in the comfort of their own homes back in 2008…

if ever i’ve made a photobook that was well-suited to the medium, it is this one… the images are positioned in such a way that the book needs to be constantly revolved and flipped to get your bearings… all great fun, the book is not yet for sale but if you are interested in obtaining a copy, do let paul know

he photographed each of them… and then he ate them

unusual idea for a book on a narrow theme, or is it rather data visualisation in book form?

…all of the apples in this little hardcover book were printed at actual size. Every apple is a different variety (47 kinds total) and are labeled as such. On the left of every spread is the apple whole, on the right page, it’s the apple sliced in half. The author of this book, Jonathan Gerken, gathered all of these apples during the fall of a single year from local farmer’s markets, orchards and neighbors…
