I have a fondness for pocket-sized books with many examples of one thing. The inspiration for this set of books came from ‘365 days of invisible work’ by Werker Collective, ‘Helvetica: Homage to a Typeface’ by Lars Müller, and the design collection books from Page One Group.

 

The objective of making these books was to give the archive a physical form that could be expanded later. The books’ contents comprised the photographs from the archive and their corresponding captions. The initial idea was to make a single book, but the number of pages made it too thick to be one spiral-bound book. So I divided the book into four volumes. The first three volumes have 140 images each, and the last volume has 113.
