Record 2005
Artists book. Photocopy, A3, 350 pages, handbound, hardcover, ed. 10.
'Record' is an artists book conceived as a journey through a limitless and overexpanding city. The 700 images used, depicting various streets from different Western and Eastern European and Asian cities ( see also 'Archive' ) such as Berlin, Bucharest, Amsterdam, Brussels, Seoul, Tallinn, and others, are so combined, that the different city images all flow into one another, creating the impression of an endless journey of repetitions. The size of the book - A3 format - fills the field of vision drawing the spectator into the journeys own reality. The differences between the various cities, and their specific political and social structures, is evened out. All is left, is a record, a mirroring of people by focussing on where they live and what they leave behind.
