Grey Books

The grey books are artist’s books, i.e. the books do not “contain” art but they are works of art in themselves. The editions of the grey books are unlimited, but each book will be numbered and signed. The books are priced at 1 € per page and range from 24 to 240 pages. They are obtainable only through this website.

Other People’s Photographs
This series centers on the themes presented by modern everyday, amateur photographers. Images found on photo sharing sites such as Flickr have been collected and ordered in a way to form a continually expanding encyclopedic library of digital photography. Each book is comprised of images that focus on a specific photographic event or idea, the grouping of photographs revealing a language of modern vernacular photography.
