TWO, our next special edition photography book combines photographic images with short pieces of text, all centered on a single theme. We created ONE in 2016, on the theme of minimalism. This time we asked nine photographers and nine writers to contribute on the theme of reflection—literally, as in the nature of reflection in photographic images, lens, windows, self-portraits, but also the larger general idea of how images can stimulate a more personal, internal reflection. This limited edition, inspired by these concepts, and published to coincide with our participation in Paris Photo 2018, is the second in a series that pairs artists with writers. We asked each photographer to provide an image, and then we paired them with a writer who responded to the image, and the broader theme of reflection. Each image was printed by Michael Lundgren on Hahnemühle paper, signed by the artist, and hand-tipped into each book.
