ARTIST’S BOOKS
Dusseldorf: Kunstverein fur die Rheinlande und Westfalen, 1987
30 x 21cm, 62pp plus card covers and printed typographic dustjacket. Exhibition catalogue and artist's book which shows the photograph "Classe Terminale du Lycee Chases en 1931 Castelgasse Vienne" on the title page followed by enlargements of each of the faces of the children (not the teacher) - each on a page printed on semi-opaque paper to give a ghostly feel to the faces which are also out of focus due to the enlargement which doubles the affect. The final page of the book is an installation view showing the photographs displayed on the walls each with a lamp light above it. This is one of two artist books based on the same touring show - here in Germany and also in Saint-Ettienne.
