dOCUMENTA(13) Materials: 09

This thick photo book captures the last figure of Scrapbook #67 in progress, an artwork by Shinro Ohtake for dOCUMENTA(13), before shipped from his studio in Uwajima, Japan to Kassel, Germany. Shinro has been making scrapbooks as a daily activity since 1970’s and the 67th was especially huge in size, larger than one tatami. This book records all the pages of Scrapbook #67, full of collages, inks and paints to be distorted, stuck out, shone and heaved with time, because of the destructive power of gravity. All the 422 pages are laser-printed in full color in the publisher's studio. The patented special binding effects very soft spine and the book easily opens 180-degree.  Know more:Edition Nord - Art Publisher Based In A Snowy Land --> Author: Shinro OhtakePublisher: Edition NordLanguage: English First edition of 100, 2012 Designed by Shin Akiyama, Wataru KobaraPhotographs by Masahito YamamotoPrinted and assembled by Chiku Chiku LaboratoryBound by Print Designing Dimensions: 277 x 180 x 40 mmPages: 422Weight: 1770gBinding: Softcover
