“One important thing about the images is their found-ness. The photographs are taken from life; they’re not made from props in a studio. The artist was on library safari.” – Louis Menand, Writer + Pulitzer Prize Winner

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.
