Description
Out of Context into Chaos (Premium Edition) is is a series of three books of images and ideas that examine the nature and purpose of photography using reassembled photographs. The images are self-collages of hundreds of small, constituent photographs that challenge the viewers to consider recognition, deterioration and loss, and the separation from reality (the loss of context) than every photograph suffers. The three books are Memories and Photographs (15 images and 60 pages), Deterioration and Loss (12 images and 52 pages), and Photographs and Reality (20 images and 72 pages). Each book includes an essay that runs through it. The essays, respectively, address the process of using photographs to help us remember the past, a process of using reassembled photographs to assuage our concerns of a discontinuous future, and the failed process of using photographs to capture reality–the present.
The premium edition includes folded, double-card covers; saddle-stitched pages; and a handmade slipcase. The premium edition is limited to sixteen packages of books in a slipcover. Each piece in the sets is numbered and signed.
