KICK IN THE EYE
My new self-publishing project
After a few pauses, I am a thrilled to announce the release of my new self-publishing project. “Kick In The Eye” is a multi-format photo book. I will be releasing three different formats of this collection of photographs. The body of work is from a trip to Japan in 2019. The book layout is a continuation of my desire to depart from a reliance on and the sanctity of the “single” photograph. Each page of the book is a grouping of images meant to work as a whole. These pages I then envisioned as “visual songs.” I followed this quasi-musical approach to the packaging of each format. Being a vinyl collector, I wanted to replicate the 12” LP format, which seemed an appropriate way to package the main book. I then created a smaller “CD” version of the set of photos, as a small booklet in a CD jewel case. Finally, I produced a small number of “cassette” versions of the work, creating a deck of smaller cards that come encased in a classic cassette case.
ABOUT THE PHOTOS
How well can one prepare for a place they have never been, where none of the words make sense, where activity never ceases, with all senses on hyper-alert? In Japan, you either surrender to it and let the flow take you where it wants you to go, otherwise you could easily be pulled under the current. As much as you could hope to be a traveler and not a tourist, there are some hurdles that are not so easy to overcome. Weeks of being completely adrift in a never-ending maze of commotion and confusion are sure to shift one’s comprehension of what is predictable... what is recognizable... what is understandable.
