Volume

2022 - 2025

“The cards say: I see a past that is as strong as the future. Your project is so solid and its foundation so strong that it will be around for a long time, becoming iconic and a strong reference for others. All the time you have dedicated to it is definitely not wasted, it looks like you will be doing this for another 20 years at least.”

— Cristina De Middel, Fortune Teller + President, Magnum Photos

Volume is a long form documentary of bound periodicals and journals in public libraries. The books are not touched, artificially lit, or manipulated — rather created by the librarian and found in the stacks— positioned by the last reader. The focus is on simple, provocative titles that, through color and scale, transcend the spines on which they appear to create playful, anthropological, conceptual artworks.
