John Gossage: pomodori a grappolo (disorderly)
This is a signed limited edition of pomodori a grappolo, a set of three interconnected books by photographer and bookmaker John Gossage (born 1948). Each book gathers images made in Northern Italy and Sardinia between 2009 and 2011, and each includes a short text by Marlene Klein. The written pieces—two stories and one epilogue—have been created in response to Gossage's pictures. A unique approach runs through all the details of the books, from the way elements repeat—or don't—to the choice of materials and color. Since these three books are each a different trim size but include photos that are reproduced at the exact same size, the collective project functions as a study of how ink on paper can inform perception. This signed limited edition of the books, held together in a "disorderly" way with magnets, further explores these concepts. The books come in a custom box.
